Find Your Super Self (on the SHELF)!

Summer Reading is now in full swing, and it’s all superheroes, all the time around here right now. But “Pow! Bam! Book!” is not just about the Batman, Green Lantern, Spidey, and Wonder Woman we all know and love.

It’s also about learning how to appreciate the superhero in you. Are you a kind person? Are you good at sports? Do you have a special skill? Have you overcome difficulty in your life?

Look here for a list of books created by library practicum student Jessica Applebee highlighting the lives of some superheroes…that are just like you and me.

Don’t forget that the library is celebrating the self this summer with a series of programs to make a healthier and more mindful kid. “Be Your Super Self” happens Mondays at 10:00 a.m. for 1st-8th grades and features local instructors in yoga, martial arts, and Zumba.
