Our library is proud to announce a new partnership with the
Brunner Literacy Center
(BLC) to bring tutoring for adults in Tipp City. The BLC provides flexible learning opportunities to meet the individual needs of adult students in pursuit of their personal or professional education. The tutoring sessions can take place in-person at our library or held virtually. In particular, we are looking for tutors who would be willing to work with immigrants learning English. Tutors must be 19 or older who are ready to support another adult on an educational journey. No prior teaching experience is required, as the BLC will provide free tutor orientation and guidance. If interested, email us at
info@tippcitylibrary.org
or call us during our hours of operation at (937) 667-3826.
This collaboration is sponsored by the Tipp City Foundation grant program.

Imagine Your Story: Performance Series with Kendall Johnson
|
|
With so many artists having their shows cancelled this summer, we thought we would bring them to you. As part of this performance series, join us on Facebook Live as authors, poets, musicians, and other artists share their work with you.
Kendall Johnson, a former firefighter with military experience, served as a traumatic stress consultant—often in the field—specializing in Incident Command System Class I & II commands. He has lectured in fire houses, hospitals, emergency service institutes, conferences, government training facilities and universities, here and abroad.
He has authored a number of professional papers and also seven books in the treatment of traumatic stress, school crisis management and recovery. Recently, Dr. Johnson retired from teaching to pursue painting, photography and writing. In that capacity, he has written five literary books of artwork and poetry, and one in art history.
Thank you to Pelekinesis Press for making this author available to us.
On Friday, July 17 at 6 p.m., join us on our
Facebook page

Catch up with our library's Virtual Book Club this week on our
Facebook page
. This week, we focus on
The Things We Cannot Say
by Kelly Rimmer.
Set in both 1942 and 2019,
The Things We Cannot Say
follows Alina Dziak and her granddaughter Alice. When Alina is sent to the hospital, a box containing memories from her past is unearthed. When Alina hears these items have been found, she begs Alice to go to Poland and find out what happened to the people who these items belonged to.
The Things We Cannot Say
is an unshakable reminder of the devastation when truth is silenced, and how it can take a lifetime to find our voice before we learn to trust it.
You can find
The Things We Cannot Say
for download on one of our free online streaming services like
Hoopla
or
