October 4th - 10th is Banned Books Week and our UCity librarians have been spotted reading banned books! Banned Books Week is an annual awareness campaign promoted by the American Library Association and Amnesty International, that celebrates the freedom to read, draws attention to banned and challenged books, and highlights persecuted individuals.

Some of our young readers may be interested in this evening book club at the University City Public Library!

Is your child a voracious book reader in need of something new?

Treehouse Book Club to the rescue! In this book club for grades 4 - 6, readers complete books independently and then come together to talk, snack, and decide on their next read.

Call the library or email [email protected] to register.

1st Tuesdays at 7 p.m.
Oct. 6, Nov. 3, Dec. 1, Feb. 2, Mar. 2, Apr. 6

Welcome back to a new school year! Our UCity Librarians have been busy welcoming students old and new back to our beautiful libraries. Prior to the start of school our team had a chance to meet and work on curriculum and collection development. We enjoyed a field trip to the Novel Neighbor where we perused newly released books and made a few purchases for our libraries. We are all looking forward to a year filled with books and reading!
