What a wonderful surprise for our book club today!

Members were delighted to join a special live Zoom conversation with New York Times bestselling author Jane Kirkpatrick. Having read a variety of her novels, our group enjoyed the unique opportunity to ask questions and discuss the fascinating characters, rich historical settings, compelling storylines, and interconnected threads that make her books so memorable.

Jane generously shared insights into her research, writing process, and the real-life inspirations behind many of her stories, making for an engaging and unforgettable afternoon.

If you missed today's conversation, you'll have another opportunity to meet Jane in person! Join us on Monday, June 30 at 6:30 p.m. at the Marten Center, where Jane Kirkpatrick will be speaking about her work, answering audience questions, and signing books.

Whether you're a longtime fan or new to her writing, this is a wonderful chance to hear from one of today's most beloved historical fiction authors. We hope to see you there!

A big thank you to all the parents, grandparents, and caregivers who joined us for today's Dino-Mite Adventures Story Time! 🦖💚

We had a roaring good time reading two adorable dinosaur stories, creating a "Dino Stomp Safari" around the children's section, and making a fun D is for Dinosaur craft. During our Dino Stomp Safari, little paleontologists marched to music and stopped at dinosaur footprints along the way, performing silly dinosaur moves like stomping, stretching, roaring, and tiptoeing just like their prehistoric friends!

For snack, we enjoyed delicious dinosaur footprint cookies, and everyone was amazed to see just how enormous a T-Rex footprint would have been compared to themselves. It was a fun way to imagine what it might have been like to walk among the dinosaurs millions of years ago!

Thank you for making story time so much fun. We love seeing our library filled with smiling faces, curious minds, and happy families.

Don't forget to join us next Tuesday at 10:30 AM for Super Hero Story Time! 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️ We'll have stories, activities, crafts, and plenty of heroic fun. We can't wait to see you there!
