Cranberry Box Discussion

On Jan. 21 at 7:30 p.m., we’re offering a unique way for middle school and high students to earn community service hours. Local author Joy Jones has written a short story titled The Cranberry Box and is looking for feedback from pre-teen and teen readers. Participants will earn two community service hours for taking part in this event. Copies of the story are available at the Library’s main desk; you must read the story before the discussion. Registration required.

Best Kids/Teen Books

Looking for a great holiday gift? Try a book!

I've culled through more than 1,000 children's and teen books published this year to highlight the best for kids. You'll find great books for pre-teens and teens on this list, which has been posted on the library's Books blog. Look for the entry labeled Best Kids Books 2. We'll soon post a final list listing some of the best non-fiction and graphic novels for kids.
