Cass County Public Library - Pleasant Hill Branch

Actually... you can access MILLIONS (at least 4) of items with your CCPL library card.

It takes about 5 minutes to get a card so drop in anytime we're open and take care of it!

Millennials... prepare for some nostalgia!

~~NEW BOOK CLUB~~
FIRST MEETING
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10
5:30pm
Intended for adults.

Love to read but don't love assigned reading schedules? Welcome to a book club designed with you in mind!

Instead of everyone reading the same single title, we gather to explore an entire genre or theme and you can read any book you want within that category.

~~HERE IS HOW IT WORKS~~
**We pick a genre/theme/category.
**You choose any book that fits (for you).
**Read your personal selection and then meet up to share our thoughts, reviews, and recommendations.

It is a completely low-pressure, stress-free way to discover literary gems, chat about your favorite authors, and expand your reading list.

Whether you finish a doorstop of a novel or just read a few panels of a graphic novel, your perspective is welcome. Come meet fellow book lovers and leave with a whole list of new books to check out!

**********
THIS MONTH'S GENRE:
CONTEMPORARY FICTION
Contemporary Fiction refers to works set in the present day or recent past. In this genre, characters typically act like real people who are facing real issues in a modern, contemporary setting.

It tilts! It rolls! It raises up! It lowers down! It keeps you organized!

Check out the new PUZZLE TABLE at the Pleasant Hill Branch.

We've heard your requests for this and are super happy to finally have this puzzle table for you to use during your visit to the branch.

The "tilt" and "height" adjustment levers are labeled for your convenience but please ask for help if you aren't sure how to adjust it. There are drawers on the left and right sides (not pictured in the photos). The casters make it easy to move throughout the library wherever you want to work but its "home" will be near the fireplace area as pictured.

We've chosen a Nancy Drew themed puzzle to break in the table.

Enjoy!
