After a lengthy hiatus, everyone’s favorite sharing time for readers is back! BookTalk will make its triumphant return at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, August 5.

If you have been itching to talk about the books you read, then join group discussion leader Krystal Smalley for a casual talk about books. No matter the subject or genre, all readers are welcome to talk about anything book related.

BookTalk meets on the first Thursday of the month at 11:00 a.m. The 2021 schedule is as follows: August 5, September 2, October 7, November 4, and December 2.

Get your family outside to stretch their legs, read a book, and solve a puzzle with StoryWalk®: Coded Tales.

The book for August is Birdie’s First Day of School by Sujean Rim. “Tomorrow is Birdie's first day of school and she is just SO nervous. What will her teacher be like? What should she bring? What should she WEAR? When Birdie walks into her brand-new classroom . . . oh my! A whole new world opens up as she discovers all the fun and adventure that school has to offer.”

Take a journey into the night sky with the Armstrong Air & Space Museum and learn the tales – or tails – that can be found up there.

What’s Cookin’ may be pivoting to a lunch get-together, but you can still expect the same food talk and camaraderie.

What’s Cookin’: Lunch Bunch will kick off at noon on July 26. Bring a no bake dessert or cool salad to the luncheon to share and get ready to discuss cooking, baking, recipes, and more. Make sure to bring your own beverage to quench your thirst.

Every kid’s favorite cooking program, Kids Can Cook, is putting together another perfect for the Summer Reading Program.

Miss Jill will be hosting a virtual Kids Can Cook program on Thursday, July 15, where she will show you and your child how to make Piggy Cookies. The video will debut at 6:00 p.m. on the Upper Sandusky Community Library Facebook page and YouTube channel.

The event that readers and book collectors have been waiting for is returning this summer!
