Flash is back for another weekly Lit Happens discussion and this week's question will have you digging back into your memories of history class.
"What is a historical text you've read that still remains relevant today?"
A historical text is any written record or document from the past that provides us information about things that happened.

Thanks to everyone who came to the Paint & Sip last night! Everyone willing to brave the weather warnings had a great time, and luckily none of us were rained out! All the art made was fantastic and another HUGE thank you to Laurie, our wonderful teacher!

And as always, thanks to the Friends of the Library for funding this fun event!

It is fully mobile, perfectly sized for our younger patrons, and currently loaded up with fun interactive storytelling magnets.
We also just unboxed a brand new set of Pigeon-themed Magna-Tiles! 🐦
Check out the activity table to build your own masterpieces featuring Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! and other favorite Mo Willems characters.

Get your paint clothes on and get in the mood to make art as this Thursday we'll be inviting local artist Laurie (Duckie’s Art Works) to help all of us step by step to make a Watercolor Landscape! It'll be a great time of painting and sippin' on a delicious mocktail. Hope to see you there!

No RSVP necessary. (We made sure to get more paintbrushes since the last paint & sip!)

After a temporary hiatus, Flash is back with another Lit Happens!

We know the phrase "Don't judge a book by it's cover." 📚
This week we want to know:
"What is a book you've judged by its cover? Was your judgement correct?"
