READ AQUIET FOR ADULTS
The VDL’s newest book club is for silent reading. Bring your own book, and we’ll read together in silent camaraderie. After an hour of silent reading, there will be 30 optional minutes of casual conversation about what we’re reading. Read Aquiet is on fourth Mondays, June 23, July 28, and August 25, from 10:30am-12:00 noon.
JIGSAW PUZZLE TIME: CASUAL PUZZLING FOR ADULTS
Put together the library’s jigsaw puzzles. Drinks will be provided, but you’re also welcome to bring your own snacks. Jigsaw Puzzle Time takes place on final Fridays, June 27, July 25, and August 29 from 11:00am-12:00 noon.
BOOK BOXES FOR ADULTS
Book Boxes contain books based on personalized recommendations from criteria that you specify, all inside a box with treats: salty, sweet, and a little surprise. Registration is limited to 5 boxes per month. Registration for Book Boxes is now open and will remain open through July 15. Access the signup form here.
How Book Boxes work: You tell us your reading preferences – what you’re looking for and what you’re not looking for – and you’ll get a box with three surprise library books and some treats. The books and boxes are checked out like any other library book and returned on their due date.
WRITERS’ MOTIVATIONAL GROUP
A writers’ group where members discuss and practice writing, encourage one another, report progress, and respond to short writing prompts. This program is for adults only. We meet from 4:00-5:00pm on Thursdays, June 12 and July 10. There will be no meeting in August.
BOOK CLUB FOR ADULTS
The Vicksburg District Library’s Book Club for Adults meets on the first Thursday of the month from 9:30 – 10:30am. Our September meeting will be on September 4. Coffee, tea, and breakfast treats are provided. Newcomers are always welcome. For our September meeting, we will read and discuss “The Light Eaters” by Zoe Schlanger. Book Club for Adults is for adults 18+ only. See more information on an unofficial August book club meeting below.
Because John, the usual Book Club leader, will be out of the library on August 7, Book Club participants have decided to meet unofficially in Mackenzies Bakery at the usual time, 9:30-10:30am, to discuss whatever they’re reading at the time. If you want to RSVP or sign up to receive more information, please give your email address to John (269-649-1648, jmaclellan@vicksburglibrary.org, or stop in the library) by August 1, and he will connect you with the patron leader.
