Life on the road conjures up iconic images of freedom and adventure. Get a taste of that life when self-proclaimed world traveling hobo Andy Graham speaks at the North Webster Library at 6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 21.

This Orland, Ind., native has spent the last 16 years traveling through more than 90 countries, never staying in one place longer than three months. He will talk about his travels, share his adventures, and answer questions in this fascinating presentation.  A veteran world traveler and author, Graham has been featured in National Geographic Adventure, The New York Times, Forbes, The Guardian and many other international publications and websites. This is a free program open to the public.

Writer’s Corner may not be traveling the world, but they will share their essays on a trip to the theater at 10 a.m. Monday, Aug. 18. Later that day, R.E.A.D. Book Club will gather at 5:30 p.m. for refreshments while discussing The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne.  

If you like traveling back into time, the Glean Team may be the group for you. This is a group of seasoned genealogists who enjoy researching family history. They meet the first three Wednesdays of each month at 10 a.m. to help each other on genealogy projects, share research techniques, and learn from one another. If interested in joining with other family historians, come to the Glean Team on Wednesday, Aug. 20, at 10 a.m.

The library will join in the North Webster Community Center’s 10-Year Celebration by hosting a Youth Craft Station from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23, in the library meeting room. Kids and their families are invited to stop in and do a fun craft as part of the center’s festivities.

School has started and that means homework (ugh!). The library offers online homework help for children and teens that can be accessed from their home computers. Just go to the Youth Resources page at www.nweb.lib.in.us/youth/. You don’t even need a library card. 

Students are also welcome to use the computers in the library’s Youth Services Department. Children under age 12 must have a parent accompany them to use the computers and students under age 18 must have a parental permission slip on file at the library. The library offers a wealth of resources to help students learn and achieve their best in school.
