HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH
“Honoring our heritage. Building our future.” Visit our special display at the library celebrating Hispanic and Latino American culture, heritage and contributions. Read a book or watch a film this month to expand your knowledge about Hispanics and Latinos who have enriched our nation’s history. Take our simple quiz about famous American personalities and you can enter the drawing to win a prize!
BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP SEPTEMBER 26, 7 P.M.
September’s book is “Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand” by Helen Simonson. Meet Major Pettigrew: wry, courtly, opinionated and completely endearing. He leads a quiet life, valuing the proper things that Englishmen have lived by for generations, until his brother’s death sparks an unexpected friendship with the Pakistani shopkeeper from the village. Books and audiobooks are available from the library.

DEFEND THE FIRST AMENDMENT... READ A BANNED OR CHALLENGED BOOK
Catcher in the Rye...To Kill a Mockingbird...The Great Gatsby... What’s your favorite book? Chances are good that someone has challenged it or tried to ban it. Every year, there are hundreds of attempts by individuals or groups to remove books from schools and libraries. The freedom to read is essential to our democracy, and reading is among our greatest freedoms. The books featured on our September display have all been targeted for removal in libraries or schools for various reasons. You’ll be surprised at many of the titles. Celebrate YOUR freedom to read and your right to choose your book during Banned Books Week.

CONQUER THE ZUGSPITZE OVERNIGHT HIKE SEPTEMBER 17-18
At least once in your life, you have to stand on Germany’s highest peak, kiss the historic cross and say, “yeah, I climbed this!” The Zugspitze has two glaciers, 3600 foot cliffs on three sides, divides Germany and Austria and has the Partnach and Hoellental gorges. Day one, we hike through the Reintal Valley and stay at the Reintalangerhuette, one of the most famous and colorful huts in the Alps. On day two, we continue up steeper slopes to the Zugspitzplatt where the ski area is. From there, those who want to continue can scale up the rock “Klettersteig” to the cross. Price $149 per person, $120 per child. Includes overnight stay with breakfast & dinner, cable car down, hiking poles, harness and guide.
