Need something different to read?

September, 2001

Woman reading a book

 Here's a quick fun way to sample different types of books than the ones you usually read. By email you receive a 5 minute read for 5 days. You can read a section each day or save them up and read them all at the end of the week. (The whole week's worth is equal to a couple of chapters at most). If you like the book and want to read more you can reserve it through the library (at the front desk in the library, phone (892-3110) or email. Every Monday you will receive a new book to peruse.

It's really easy to join, just click on the icon below and fill in the form. Give it a try with one of our two Online Book Clubs:

The Original Book Club offers a variety of books from fiction to non-fiction, self-help to inspirational, and just about any book that we think might catch your iOriginal book club logonterest and imagination. If you find yourself at a loss of what to read next, you might be inspired by some of these and find some new and enjoyable authors too.
