Classics Book Club
The goal of Classics Book Club is to finally tackle books that we should have read in high school or college but didn't, or that we have always been curious about or intimidated by, but never tried to read. This book club meets bi-monthly starting in April. For teens and adults. Sign up for the book club.

1000 Books Before Kindergarten
It doesn't matter if your child is three or just three months - there's no better time to start than now! For infants and preschoolers. Sign up for 1000 Books Before Kindergarten, then swing by the Children's Room to pick up your booklet with stickers and fun activities/suggestions.
