Summer Reading (Adults)/ Groundbreaking Reads

Signup Starts June 17- but you can read the first book now….

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova

The Historian is the story of a young woman plunged into a labyrinth where the secrets of her family’s past connect to an inconceivable evil: the dark fifteenth-century reign of Vlad the Impaler and a time-defying pact that may have kept his awful work alive through the ages. The search for the truth becomes an adventure of monumental proportions, taking us from monasteries and dusty libraries to the capitals of Eastern Europe – in a feat of storytelling so rich, so hypnotic, so exciting that it has enthralled readers around the world.

We will be meeting on June 19 for a Book Party, with suitable snacks, background information and entertaining discussion. Pick up your copy now!

Online Services/ Free! Mango Languages

We are thrilled to announce that we now have Mango Languages free for all library patrons. Mango offers a fast and convenient solution for increasing language-learning needs. Each lesson combines real life situations and audio from native speakers with simple, clear instructions. The courses are presented with an appreciation for cultural nuance and real-world application that integrates components of vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and culture. Users learn actual conversation, breaking down complex conversational elements within an audio-visual framework that allows the user to draw important connections between pieces of information they have already learned.
To try it out, go to our catalog, log in with your library card and password (call us if you need help) and click on Mango. You will be prompted to create an account with your email address so that you can keep track of your progress. Choose a language and give it a whirl!
