If you’re planning a road trip for spring break, take along some audio books to keep your child entertained.
The Youth Services Department of the North Webster Public Library has added 40 new audio books for children and teens to the collection. Most of the titles have Accelerated Reader levels with points marked inside the covers, and many of them have print books available that you can check out so your child can read along.
Audio books are great for trips or to listen to while doing chores or other activities. Audio books, along with the read-along print books, can help your child learn to read or improve their reading levels. They can also instill the love of books in kids who are less than enthusiastic about reading. Stop by the Youth Services Department or log onto the online catalog to view the selection at www.nweb.lib.in.us.
Adults may want to check out the library’s collection of mystery books and join in the library’s Mystery Marathon. You’ll have until April 16 to read as many mysteries as you can and compete with other readers for the grand mystery prize. Stop by the front desk for contest rules and details. The winner will be announced at the National Library Celebration on April 17 and must be present to claim the prize.
Members of the Voyager Book have been reading historical fiction and will meet at 10 a.m. Monday, March 24, to discuss the different books they’ve each read. Later that evening at 5:30 p.m., R.N. Mary Erb will discuss how to reduce the calorie content of you favorite recipes during Lose It @ The Library, the weekly weight loss support program. You may want to use what you learn at Lose It to prepare your favorite hors d’oeuvres and bring them to Revolving Recipe Round-Up. This group will be sharing hors d’oeuvres and swapping recipes at 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 25.
Family Movie Time
