Briggs Reads! and more
\nBriggs Public Library is offering Briggs Reads!, a community-wide reading event this summer! In September, the library will be hosting local author Lori Nelson Spielman, as she discusses her novel, \u201cThe Life List.\u201d This charming book shares the story of one woman who sets out to complete her old list of childhood goals, and finds that her lifelong dreams lead her down a path she never expects. The library has multiple copies of the book on hand, and is inviting all interested patrons to read it this summer in advance of Ms. Spielman\u2019s visit. If you are interested in reading the book, stop by the library to borrow a copy. The Briggs Reads! program has been generously sponsored by the Briggs Library Friends Group.
\nNew at the Library \u2013 \u201cTale to Tail\u201d<\/strong>
\nWhat do you get when you bring a child and a dog and a book together? Children\u2019s confidence and reading skills grow in a relaxing environment. This \u201cTail Waggin\u2019 Tutor\u201d program with Arrow, a certified therapy dog, will be available for children ages 6 to 12. A child can read aloud for 15 minutes to Arrow in our quiet study room on Thursday evenings starting June 19th through August 28th (NO July 3rd session). Arrow will be at the library from 6:30-7:30 pm. Registration is required. Call or stop at the circulation desk for available dates and times.

\nEvery Friday from June 13 \u2013 August 22 the library will be presenting family movies. All movies will be rated G or PG and will start at 3 pm; all children must be accompanied by an adult. On June 20th, the movie will be Meet the Robinsons<\/em> and on June 27th the selection is The Iron Giant<\/em>. Tickets can be picked up in advance at the library and attendees can bring their own pillows or camp chairs if they wish.

Sawyer\u2019s science fiction novel, the entire population of Earth loses consciousness for two minutes. During that time, everyone experiences a glimpse of what his or her future holds \u2013 or doesn\u2019t hold \u2013 and these visions set people on journeys to usher in or avoid their fate.
