The library will once again host a poetry contest as part of this popular spring festival, this year celebrating its 10th anniversary. Entries will be judged in youth (ages 18 and younger) and adult categories. Submit your asparagus-inspired verse to the library by Monday, May 13th. Poems may be emailed to info@glenlakelibrary.net; or sent to our mailing address - Glen Lake Community Library, PO Box 33, Empire, MI 49630; or can be dropped off at the library itself. On Saturday, May 18, at 2:00 pm in the Empire Township Hall, all verses submitted in the contest will be shared in a poetry reading. Contestants are encouraged to attend this fun gathering to present their own "Ode to Asparagus"!
Our weekly preschool program begins Thursday, September 6, at 11:00 am. These gatherings offer storytelling, music, and hands-on learning activities, and are led by early childhood education specialists Bonnie Kay and Joanne Beare. No advance registration is required - just stop in and join the fun! This is a great way for young children, and their caregivers, to discover all the library has to offer, and to get a head start on early literacy development. This program is made possible by support from the Friends of the Glen Lake Community Library. Young readers are also invited
to sign
up for our Kids Reading Club, earning a free book for each ten they
read. Pick up your official reading log at the library, or download here.
This book discussion group meets at the library on the last Wednesday of each month at 10:15 am. Their lively discussions are open to the public. For more information about this month's selection, please check our calendar.
