Welcome to your library news update!
We have a lot going on at the end of April and into early May. On 4/22 (Earth Day!), we're launching the Seed Library. The Patawomeck Indian Tribe of Virginia will be presenting an interactive exhibit at several branches during the next few weeks.
Novels in Verse for Kids are a perfect way to finish out National Poetry Month. Younger readers (and listeners!) are invited to attend our Grow a Reader sessions. Upcoming specials focus on Passover and Mother's Day. Children K-6 can take part in PAWS for Reading sessions, a chance to practice reading out loud to therapy dogs who are also eager listeners. The pups are also available for Time with Therapy Dog sessions for teens and adults with disabilities.
May the Fourth be with you! Fredericksburg and Salem Church branches are hosting Star Wars Day activities for all ages on 5/4. Be sure to mark your calendar for CRRL-Con, the comic book convention at your library, coming to Howell on 5/18.
We're having our share of April showers, and our teen list, Great Books for a Rainy Day, makes the most of the reader-friendly weather. The Teen Book Group is meeting on 5/9 at Porter Branch and online to discuss some favorite Rom-Coms.
Adults can peruse a list of Libby winners and nominees--books chosen as the best by librarians and library workers across North America. We have Edgar Award-nominated Mysteries Not to Miss for adults who like reads with riddles.
Join us at Fredericksburg Branch on Thursday evening, 5/2, for a special lecture-performance exploring music in the early days of the French Revolution, part of the Lafayette 200 events series. Those interested in playing and creating music themselves may enjoy checking out the Akai Midi Keyboard from our Tech on the Go collection at IdeaSpace.
April is Membership Month for the Friends of the Library. Join the Friends or renew your membership by April 30 to be a part of all they do to support CRRL and earn membership rewards. From their roles in advocating for the freedom to read to supporting special library programs and staff training, we value our Friends!
