In August 2022, Missouri Governor Michael L. Parson recognized the critical role that good vision plays in the learning process for a child’s ability to read and write. Help children receive treatment for vision-related issues by joining Wolfner Library in spreading public awareness of Children’s Vision and Learning Month. For all ages, young and old, Wolfner Library is here to help those with low vision access their path to literacy; visit us at sos.mo.gov/Wolfner.

Here’s a list of books that will be featured for August:
August 6th Woman in the Mists by Mowat Farley (DB027071)
At the time of her mysterious murder in December 1985, Dian Fossey was a noted ape researcher. Living twenty years in Africa, Fossey
conducted her research in Rwanda facing such constant hardships as the wild environment, poachers, and arrogant officials who many believe
arranged for her death. The story is presented in detail, relying on Fossey's journals, letters, and notes. Some strong language. (16 hours, 41 minutes)
August 20th Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes (DB033245)
The narrator, a mentally impaired man of thirty-two, receives an operation to increase his learning ability. But although his mentality develops
at high speed, there is always the possibility of regression. For junior and senior high and older readers. (8 hours, 20 minutes)

Wolfner joined in the fun at the 22nd Annual Missouri Youth Leader Forum (MO-YLF), held by the Governor’s Council on Disability and hosted at Mizzou. MO-YLF’s chosen delegates engage in a week-long leadership retreat and career awareness programs. At the end of the week, young adults were able to visit with Missouri organizations that are passionate about sharing resources with this community. Wolfner was honored to meet this year’s amazing delegates and alumni, and we welcome our new BARD Mobile patrons to our library community.
