Fall into a good book... Suggested Reading Adult
Patriot Threat – by Steve Berry Cotton Malone, once a member of an elite intelligence division within the Justice Department known as the Magellan Billet, is now retired and owns an old bookshop in Denmark. But when his former-boss, Stephanie Nelle, asks him to track a rogue North Korean who may have acquired some top secret Treasury Department files—the kind that could bring the United States to its knees—Malone is vaulted into a harrowing twenty-four hour chase that begins on the canals in Venice and ends in the remote highlands of Croatia. Action is frantic, major characters are static, but Malone joins forces with serious-minded Treasury agent Isabella Schaefer—an evolving player sure to appear in upcoming Magellan superspy adventures—in shoot-’em-ups from Venice to the wilds of Croatia. Another page-turning thriller blending history, speculation and fast-paced action. - Kirkus
Young Adult All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at school—six stories above the ground—it’s unclear who saves whom. And when the unlikely pair teams up on a class project to discover the “natural wonders” of their state, they go, as Finch says, where the road takes them: the grand, the small, the bizarre, the beautiful, the ugly, the surprising—just like life. Soon it’s only with Violet that Finch can be himself—a bold, funny, liveout-loud guy, who’s not such a freak after all. And it’s only with Finch that Violet forgets to count away the days and starts living them. But as Violet’s world grows, Finch’s begins to shrink. This is a heart-wrenching, unflinching story of love shared, life lived, and two teens who find one another while standing on the edge. Two struggling teens develop an unlikely relationship in a moving exploration of grief, suicide and young love. Many teen novels touch on similar themes, but few do it so memorably. — Kirkus
Children’s The Bear Ate Your Sandwich by Julia Sarcone-Roach So begins Julia Sarcone-Roach’s delicious tale of a bear, lost in the city, who happens upon an unattended sandwich in the park. The bear’s journey from forest to city and back home again is full of happy accidents, funny encounters, and sensory delights. The story is so engrossing, it’s not until the very end that we begin to suspect this is a TALL tale. The final revelation of the storyteller’s identity may not surprise the canniest readers, but it will still delight them and any other 3- to 8-year-olds who pick up this charming picture book. -Wall Street Journal

‘Day for Kids’ invites everyone to act like a kid « COLORADO COUNTY The Boys & Girls Clubs of Champion Valley will host the annual Day for Kids event Saturday, September 19, a day set aside to highlight the critical needs of children in the community. Today, too many youth are facing serious issues that can deprive them of a happy healthy childhood and negatively impact their future. Day for Kids celebrates the life changing work taking place at the B&GC by encouraging adults to spend meaningful time with young people and engage in fun and active play. Kick off time at the Clubs is 11 a.m., and snacks will be provided, along with fun games and activities for all ages. The event will conclude at 1 p.m. In Columbus and Schulenburg the activities will take place at
the Clubs. In Weimar, the fun will be at the City Pavilion next to the Club. Those wishing to attend, do not have to be a member of one of the B&GC to join in on the Day for Kids activities. The overall initiative of B&GC of Champion Valley is to help young people become more actively engaged in their community, develop healthy lifestyles and achieve academic success – ultimately establishing a solid foundation for success now and later on as adults. The ‘play’ incorporated in the Day for Kids event fosters creativity, imagination, exploration and helps kids develop and master various skills.
