MARCH APRIL 2016
Rogers Memorial Library
Dedicated to inspire lifelong learning and serve the educational and cultural needs of the community.
Book Tree
This past holiday season Rogers Memorial Library celebrated the gift of reading with a “Book Tree.”
Staff and patrons alike wrote down their favorite titles on paper book ornaments that they hung on the
tree. By season’s end, over fifty books decorated this tree. Harry Potter was well represented by both
younger and older patrons… and there was more than one ornament for The Martian. Authors of the
moment like Anthony Doerr and Jonathan Franzen shared branches with Dostoevsky and Frances Hodgsen
Burnett. Even younger patrons got into the spirit with books like The King, The Mice, and the Cheese and
The Napping House. Thanks to each and every one of you for taking the time to share your favorite titles
and authors. You can find a full list of books on the library’s Pinterest page and on Facebook. We encourage
you to check out any or all of these remarkable titles. Here’s to a new library tradition!

which is which? As a class we’ll delve deep into the apps most
popular with today’s youth, determining the good from the
bad, and helping you to understand their functionality and
purpose in a manner that some teens may wish you didn’t.
