Put Your Nose In A Book


You may have a nose for news or you may want to keep your nose to the grindstone, or you may even find what you’re looking for right under your nose, but on Friday, October 1 from 10-10:15 am, the Jasper County Public Library invites everyone in our community to stop in the library and put their nose in a book to celebrate the joy of the written word as we all “Take Time Out for Reading.”

Take Time Out for Reading began in 2003, and was designed to heighten awareness for literacy across Northwest Indiana. Held in conjunction with Northwest Indiana’s “Books to Bridge the Region” reading initiative, Take Time Out for Reading is a fun way for people of all ages and from all walks of life to share their love for books and reading.

For more information, visit or call the Rensselaer Library at 866-5881, the Wheatfield Library at 956-3774 or the DeMotte Library at 987-2221. You can also check out the Northwest Indiana Literacy Coalition's site.

Oct. 1 is also Follow a Library Day.

Use your favorite social networking place to share your love of your favorite library -- just let your friends know why you love us! -- and if you haven't added your library to your friends list or follow list, this is the day to start!

You can find JCPL on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/myjcpl. While you're there, mention what book you're reading for Take Time Out For Reading!
