What Should I Read This Summer?

MCPL’s Summer Reading Program is still going strong. We are very excited to have so many participants through the Claycomo Branch. Since you all have been reading so much, I thought you might be making your way through your reading wish lists and need some more recommended titles.

The Youth Services Department has compiled some great reading lists for you to choose from on a wide range of subjects for children and teens. Please check out these lists, and find some new books to read this summer.

Hi-Skinks at the Library

One of the best things about working in the Library is the variety of the work, whether it is the information people are seeking or the customers. Each exchange is an opportunity to learn something new and meet the residents in our community. At nine o’clock, when the doors are unlocked, the staff readies themselves for business and to greet our regulars. For this reason, we consider ourselves a destination point within our community. Sometimes, animals consider the Library a place to congregate like the hordes of ants that march into the building on occasion.

Poetry Slam

In honor of National Poetry Month, a few of our staff members crafted a poem for you, our community friends.

Please enjoy, and by all means, add one of your own!

The wet, wind and rain,
Pouring, washing, renewing,
New growth, green, fresh life.

by: Pat B

The river flows,
smoothly soothing;
Then rapidly churns,
Angry and destructive.

Poetic Sensibilities

On damp days, Fool’s feet pick up
vibrations from the dead, who still want
answers, who’ve been on hold too long.

(Excerpt from Seismic, in the book Ship of Fool by William Trowbridge)
