“That was what I'd always loved about reading, what had driven me to write in the first place. That feeling that a new world was being spun like a spiderweb around you and you couldn't move until the whole thing had revealed itself to you.” -Emily Henry, Beach Read

Find YOUR Beach Read at Helen Kate's Beach Reads book sale, starting on June 22 and running through the 27th. Paperbacks are three for $1 and hardcovers $1 each.

We are so thrilled that 135 library friends joined us last night for the fascinating Outstanding Owls program! After hearing amazing owl facts, the kids asked some great questions. Seeing Oden the Owl in person was a real treat. Come check out some of incredible owl books from the display case through Saturday.

Join us on the front lawn for Toddler Tales: Summer Series! Let's take advantage of the cool of the morning for these 3 storytimes geared toward toddlers and their siblings at 10:15 a.m., then pop inside the air conditioned library to find some great new books to take home. Stories and songs, fingerplays and movement, an occasional craft or STEM activity round out the program. Make sure to register for each week: delcolibraries.libcal.com/event/16746480
