** Book Club – Worthington **
- Science Fiction/Fantasy Monthly Book Club:
- Please join us Wednesday, August 10th at 5 p.m. in the library’s Program Room!
- This Month’s Topic = Hard Fantasy: When an author applies logic and rules into creating a Magic System that the world and its characters strictly follow to conduct magical feats. Instead of only focusing on expanding the world through multiple books they also focus within and dig deeper into why and how things work. Some examples are: Wheel of Time series, Lord of the Rings, The Way of the King or The Dying Earth.
** A Note from the Library Director **
- The Nobles County Library is looking for historical, cultural or personal collections to fill our display case in our entryway! Items will be on display in this locked case for one month. If you would like to show off your collection, please speak to Beth to make arrangements.
** New at the Library **
- Monthly Book Display – Each month a theme is chosen and displayed out front! We’ve featured books about graduation, Spanish language books and this month features Graphic Novels. Come take a look and watch for next month’s theme!
- New Kits for Children – We now have two Magna-Tile Kits and a Baking Kit that have been added to the library collection! These kits help develop social skills, teach math and science concepts while allowing children to explore and create. They are available to place on hold and can be checked out for one week.
