Treasure in the Stacks is back this July! Wed l July 11 l 6 pm Wed l July 18 l 6 pm Wed l July 25 l 6 pm Marion County Public Library Sign up at summer.mcpls.org. Walk ins are welcome! Join us to solve the mystery of legendary jazz singer Ella E. Reader. Unfortunately Ella recently gave her “final performance”, and revealed in her last will that she hid her fortune in

the basement of the old library, leaving clues that only a true music lover could unravel. Recent budget cuts have closed the library and it is soon to be demolished to make room for a Starbucks. Your team of adventurers has one hour to locate the hidden fortune before the wrecking ball arrives to bury it forever. Can you find the treasure and save the library from destruction? Can you find the Treasure in the Stacks? Due to the complexity of the puzzles, only recommended for teens 15+ and adults. Sponsored by The Friends of the Marion County Public Library

Fine Free Week is

July 8-14!

Room is home to Jack, but to Ma it's the prison where she has been held for seven years. Through her fierce love for her son, she has created a life for him in this eleven-by-eleven-foot space. But with Jack's curiosity building alongside her own desperation, she knows that Room cannot contain either much longer.” -Amazon

Fiction Addiction Fiction Addiction is taking a break for the summer. If you are interested joining this teen book club, pick up a copy of Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake join us in September for discussion, crafts, and FOOD!

Cover2Cover Pick up your copy of Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand and join the Cover2Cover book club on Thursday, July 19 at 1:30 pm. On a May afternoon in 1943, an American military plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared. It was that of a young lieutenant, the plane’s bombardier, who was struggling to a life raft and pulling himself aboard. So began one of the most extraordinary sagas of the Second World War. The lieutenant’s name was Louis Zamperini. As a boy, he had been a clever delinquent, breaking into houses, brawling, and stealing. As a teenager, he had channeled his defiance into running, discovering a supreme talent that carried him to the Berlin Olympics. But when war came, the athlete became an airman, embarking on a journey that led to his doomed flight, a tiny raft, and a drift into the unknown. Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, a sinking raft, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would respond to desperation with ingenuity, suffering with hope and humor, brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would hang on the fraying wire of his will. Now a major motion picture.
