Book club offerings expand at Shreve Memorial Library
Samantha Bonnette
More than a year ago, Shreve Memorial Libraries offered a vast amount of book clubs for all interests. At the library, you could find a book club on historical fiction, sci-fi, women empowerment, self-help, local authors, teen only clubs, and so many more. In March 2020, all library programming ceased due to the pandemic and began to transition to virtual and online platforms.
I am happy to say that in August we launched the SML Virtual Book Club, and the club continues to meet monthly, partnering with a different Shreve Memorial Library book club each month. This month, the SML Virtual Book Club will be joined by the Cedar Grove-Line Avenue Branch’s Red River Readers for a jazz-infused discussion of POPS: A Life of Louis Armstrong by Terry Teachout. Join us for “Jazzin’ It Up” on Tuesday, April 13 at 6 p.m.

RPL Time Capsule

The library included artwork done by our some of our librarians, award winning book lists, news articles that chronicle the turbulent election, social unrest and writings that chronicle the work environment.
