Podcast: What’s Up Bainbridge:
June at the Bainbridge Library

This month the library’s John Fossett discusses book groups, book sales, and the Summer Learning Programs.

Did you know there are three library-hosted book groups (one on the ferryboat!)?  In this podcast John tells us about these — and explains how to start your own book group with  pre-assembled book group kits that include facilitation guides.

For this month’s featured travelogue, Grant and Barbara Winther, U.S. representatives of the East African Wildlife Society (EAWLS), will address the problems and solutions the Society is tackling in East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda). That’s June 15th at 7:30; don’t miss it!

There will also be two Friends of the Library book sales this month, and toward the end of the month look for the kick off for the library’s Summer Learning Program for both kids and adults. Read 10 hours and get a free book; read 100 hours and get a tee shirt! There will be Summer Learning events for kids and adults all summer long.

And don’t forget: on June 11 you are invited to a community conversation with KRL to identify shared aspirations.
