And busier than ever! We are currently having a
Community Read, starting our Fall Book Discussion Series and scheduling our fall Children's programming.
Our Community Read features the book The Circus in Winter by Peru, Indiana author, Cathy Day. Stop by the library to pick up a copy ($8.00 each) or check one out. Join us on Tuesday, August 19th at Mike Beauchamp's presentation of Terrell Jacobs and events associated with the escape of Modoc the elephant from the Great American Circus (6:30 at the library).
Look forward to our author visit by Cathy Day on September 4th, the final day of our community read.
Our
Fall Book Discussion Series is titled, The Artist in Love. Here is a note from Phyllis about our series:
"The “Golden Age” of Dutch painting, the 1600s, produced such masters as Johannes Vermeer and Netherlands' greatest artist, Rembrandt Van Rijn. Later, in the 1800s, Vincent Van Gogh painted more than 800 oils. All three captured on canvas ordinary people and everyday life, as well as other art subjects. Their lives were filled with difficulties, complication in love, and always a passion for their artistic work. This fall book series presents a historical fiction of each of these giants in the art world. Lear much of the artist’s life, wrapped in a fictional story. Then enjoy a little research of your own concerning the man and his art. Come ready to share your insights.
We will savor a good book and learn much, together, of Vermeer, Rembrandt, and Van Gogh!"
