Cassidy's Library Staff Pick:

Not Quite What I Was Planning

Six-Word Memoirs 

      Six Word Memiors Cass with dogs  

Not much of a writer?  Then this minimalistic form of poetry will appeal to you.  The book's challenge is to create a story in six words . . . no more, no less.  This is a collection of six-word memoirs written by both famous and obscure.  

One life.  Six words.  What's yours? 

Also check out:  Six Word Memoirs On Love And Heartbreak.

Puppet Kits  
The library has over 50 children's puppet kits.  "A puppet makes a good reading companion.  They are great listeners," said DPL children's librarian Judy.  Some kits have stuffed animals, others have props.  Stella Luna, Ginger Cat, Bob the Builder . . . so many to choose from.  Perfect for summer fun.

Insider Librarian Tips . . . from Terry:
helpful tips

 

Can't remember what you've read?  You can now save your reading history through your account online.  Once in your account, go to My Record>Contact Information and Preferences, then click the Maintain Reading List box and Submit Change box (scroll down for this one) to establish your personal reading list.  A new "Reading History" link will now appear in the left column.  Patrons only, not library staff, have the ability to activate and view their reading history.  COOL!
