Library Tour

Did you know you could use a VHS to DVD converter or check out a portable die cut machine at the Nappanee Public Library? How about ”Kill-a-watt” meters or jigsaw puzzles? There are more than books at the Library! New cardholders and those interested in learning more about the Library are invited to a guided tour of the Nappanee Public Library at 7 p.m. Monday, July 20.

In addition to discovering where to find current bestsellers, a favorite cookbook, or the daily news, participants will be introduced to many special services. These include the Library’s makerspace, online catalog, eMedia, computers and copiers for use in the library; framed original art, CDs, DVDs and many other materials for loan.

The library, located at 157 North Main Street, holds the tour the third Monday of every month and by appointment.

Cover To Cover Book Club

Read along with the Cover to Cover Book Club at the Nappanee Public Library. The club will meet from 6:30 p.m. until 8 p.m. Tuesday, July 21, to discuss “You are Not Special . . . and Other Encouragements”, by David McCullough, Jr.

Elaborating on his famous commencement speech, the author takes the pressure off of students to be extraordinary achievers and encourages them to do something useful with their advantages.

For more information or to reserve a copy of the book, call (574) 773-7919, or go to www.nappaneelibrary.org. The Cover to Cover Book Club meets at the library on the third Tuesday of each month.
