Summer News from Our Librarian

CHECK IT OUT!

Summer's here; masks are becoming optional; days are longer, and the church library is brimming over with good reads and inspiration. Our DVD shelves offer you a lot of good movie watching, too!

Here are a few "Brain Teasers" for you to kick off the SUMMER IN THE LIBRARY season.

Questions:

1. What do Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Tim Tebow, Condi Rice, Col. Ed Hubbard, Gary Sinise, Capt. Sully Sullenberger, Mother Teresa, and Sam Walton all have in common?
   
   
2. What has Dolly Parton contributed to children's reading?
   
   
3. If I want to read some really good and uplifting books, where shall I look? Any recommendations?

Answers:  

1. All have books written by or about them on our BIOGRAPHY bookshelf under the back window.
   
   
2. Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is a unique program that began in Dolly's home county in 1996. The program mails a new, age-appropriate book to the homes of children monthly from birth until age five. Dolly wanted her program to be her personal gift to inspire children to read. Now nationwide (even in Canada and the UK), your SUMC library is honored to have a wide selection from the Imagination Library available in our children's area.
   
   
3. Relaxing reading begins on our Fiction shelves, arranged alphabetically by the author. Suggestion:  Try The Yada Yada Prayer Group series by Neta Jackson.

Stay tuned for more "Brain Teasers" as SUMMER IN THE LIBRARY season continues!!!
