Do you enjoy reading books that have been adapted to television shows or movies? If so, join our new tweens book club, From Pages to Popcorn!
Every six weeks we’ll read a different book. We then meet to discuss the book, watch a bit of the television or movie adaptation, and talk about the differences, similarities, favorites and not-so-favorites.
Our first book is The Bad Beginning, Book 1 in the Lemony Snickett books, A Series of Unfortunate Events and the Netflix program of the same name.
For questions about the club, please call Vanessa, Youth Services Librarian, at 217-877-8174

A tangram is a Chinese dissection puzzle made from seven flat geometric shapes called "tans" cut from a single square. The puzzle's goal is to rearrange these seven pieces to form a specific outline without overlapping or leaving gaps. Come into the library to color and cut out our tangram, then put it together to form Miss Vanessa’s pattern of choice.
