Upcoming Programs

In a Balkan country mending from war, Natalia, a young doctor, is compelled to unravel the mysterious circumstances surrounding her beloved grandfather’s recent death. Searching for clues, she turns to his worn copy of The Jungle Book and the stories he told her of his encounters over the years with “the deathless man.” But most extraordinary of all is the story her grandfather never told her—the legend of the tiger’s wife.

All are welcome - ask for a copy at the circ desk.

Storytime is designed for children aged 0-6 and their caregivers. This program runs weekly throughout the school year on Friday mornings at 10:30am. Stories are chosen around a theme each week, and we follow up with play or crafting as an extension of that theme.  

Storytime promotes early literacy among our youngest community members and offers caregivers an opportunity to connect.

Published in 1951, The Catcher in the Rye, J. D. Salinger’s Bildungsroman about sixteen-year-old Holden Caulfield, is one of the most controversial novels in recent U.S. history. Since the early 1960s, disputes over Catcher in the Rye have arisen in more than seventy communities across the United States.

​

Join us to discuss The Catcher in the Rye during it's 75th year in print! 

The four Leelanau County libraries will host Amber Sheerin of the Michigan Library Association at the Old Art Building. Sheerin will discuss intellectual freedom as a core value of public libraries, including why the free access to information and ideas is central to a library's mission and critically important for communities. 

Cider and donuts will be served. Bring your questions!
