Next book group selection is available

We just wrapped up a wonderful discussion of The Book of Essie by Meghan MacLean Weir. You may know the author's parents, Dan and Jan Weir. Always fun to read a book with a local connection - even better when it is a gripping, fascinating, and thought-provoking one. If you have read The Book of Essie and want to share your thoughts, please leave a comment here.

 

Our next book is nonfiction and entitled Ghost of the Innocent Man by Benjamin Rachlin. I have copies ready to check out now. Please reserve them online or phone us and we will prepare one for you to pick up. We will discuss it via Zoom at 4:30 on February 9th.

New Online Storytime Posted

A  new Storytime is now available on the Jackson Library's website!  New storytime programs are posted on the first and third Thursday of each month  Join Petunia and Meredith for songs, finger rhymes and some storytelling fun. Previous programs are also available.  If you haven't been on the Story Book Trail behind the library, now is a fabulous time to get out!  The current story is The Very Best Bed by Rebekah Raye.  Enjoy!

Honor a friend, gift a book

Do you have someone on your list that you struggle to buy for? Why not honor them with a book in the Library? We have created two fun ways to buy a book to both honor a loved one and contribute our collection.

We have a wish list with White Birch Books, our unbelievable local book store. Simply buy a book we need, support a local business, and donate the book to us when you're done. Everyone wins!

If instant uplift is what you crave, we also offer a direct sponsorship. Donate a flat fee for a book for our collection. We'll order it and process it for our collection with a book plate honoring your generosity. We can even make sure you're first on the hold list so you can wrap it up - just be sure to return it by the due date!

More information on gifting items for our collection on our sponsorship page.
