Who Ruled SF during the Summer?

Did you know that the Northwest Branch offers four different book clubs? We have an Inspirational Book Club that meets the 1st Monday of the month at 2:00 PM.  We also have a book club for the person who loves to talk to other bibliophiles but hates the pressure of having to read a certain book by a certain time. Join the Bookless Wonders the 2nd Monday of the month at 2:00 pm! If that is not your cup of tea, how about a popular fiction book club called Reader's Perspective which meets the 3rd Monday of the month at 2:00 pm? Want to read the classics, but just can't find the time? Come to Classic Reader's on the 4th Monday of the month? Please contact the library for this month's book selection.

August 28th is Read Comics in Public Day

Show your comic book appreciation and pride by reading a comic in public tomorrow! This day was founded by editors at The Daily Cross Hatch to help promote acceptance of comics and comics readership. If you have yet to read to a comic book or perhaps have one that is being neglected, now is the time to show your support for graphic novels! 

Not sure what to read? 

How about reading Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, the Books on the Bayou 2010 pick?

Or, here are a few personal favorites that are quick reads:
