The library is hosting a virtual book discussion of Hannah Coulter by Kentucky author Wendell Berry. Our guest moderator will be Professor Katrina Eicher from Elizabethtown Community & Technical College. This discussion is part of the Kentucky Reads program supported by The Kentucky Humanities Council. The book and a discussion guide will be available at the library beginning March 2. The virtual meeting link will be provided to all who register. If we are able at that time to meet in person we will make those arrangements.
Story Time on Facebook live starts at 10 AM and is available for 24 hours.
April is National Poetry Month. To celebrate, the library invites you to create Book Spine Poems. Stack books so that the titles create a poem, snap a picture, and post it to Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #MWWMLPoems and tag the library. Share your poetry all month.
