Are you a risky reader?  If you are, join us in celebrating the 30th anniversary of Banned Books Week by joining our Banned Books Club.  We will be reading a new banned or challenged book each month.  Adults and teens alike are welcome to join.  The only requirement is you must maintain an open mind.  Some books may contain sensitive subjects, such as racism, sex, violence, and drugs.

We meet the first Wednesday of every month at 6:30 PM.

Banned book for May 1, 2013:  What My Mother Doesn't Know by Sonya Sones

To get a full list of the books we will be reading throughout the year, please click here. 

Maybe we can take the mystery out of this question by offering some suggestions of web sites and magazines to help you choose new but similar books to the ones you are reading now. First, let's start right in the library. The library subscribes to "Book Page" a monthly newspaper of sorts for books lovers. "Book Page" reviews new and forthcoming titles and highlights some of the best books each month. The library receives fifty copies each month and it's free for you. Time magazine also publishes mostly monthly book reviews. Back issues check out for three weeks.
