Florida Folk Tales
The backwoods of old Florida will meander through your mind's eye as Katie Adams tells stories from Florida's cracker heritage. A racoon that makes wishes come true ... a young fool who makes the cattle rancher's daughter laugh ... a one-eyed fish that saves an old woman from robbers. These characters and more inhabit the captivating, humorous tales from Florida's folklore. Props, costumes, audience participation, and singing add color to these "gator tales."
Join us on Wednesay, June 12, for this interactive storytelling show for ages 3 and up. "It is a treat to listen and watch" Katie Adams tell her tales.
Join Our Book Club!
Expand your reading horizons by participating in our book club. Book clubs are a great way for book-lovers to enjoy reading and the pleasure of each other's company. The book club can be a useful discipline for encouraging you to read more, to read outside the genres you normally read, or simply as a way to make new friends and meet like-minded readers. The book club will meet at the Library on Wednesday, June 19, at 6:30 PM to discuss the book Tender Is the Night, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic story of psychological disintegration.
First published in 1934, the novel was denounced by many as an unflattering portrayal of Sara and Gerald Murphy (in the guise of characters Dick and Nicole Diver), who had been generous hosts to many expatriates. Only after Fitzgerald's death was Tender Is the Night recognized as a powerful and moving depiction of the human frailties that affect privileged and ordinary people alike.
Stop by; meet fellow readers; talk about Tender Is the Night and other books you'd like to read and discuss.
Book clubs prove that good books bring people together.
