Family Matters. Read about it at JCPL this month.

This month the Jasper County Public Library will be participating for the second year in “Books to Bridge the Region,” a regional program to encourage residents of all ages to read selected titles and share their reading experiences with one another.

Other participating counties include Lake, LaPorte, Newton, Porter, Pulaski, and Starke.

“Family Matters” is this year’s theme and is carried out in three book selections for adults, teens and children.

Adults are invited to read The Ride of Our Lives by Mike Leonard, children and teens are invited to read The Watsons Go to Birmingham 1963 by Christopher Paul Curtis and the chosen title for preschoolers and young children is A Day With Wilbur Robinson by William Joyce.

The books chosen for this program focus on the common theme of the importance of family, and each library will hold special programs related to the selected titles. Special events and programs include book discussions at each branch of JCPL, as well as author visits and other related programs.
