FERRIS PUBLIC LIBRARY: More than Books (June 1, 2023)

The Ferris Public Library’s Annual Summer Reading Program will be here before you know it!

“Talewise, Science Heroes: Saving Earth Together” will kick off our program on Tuesday, June 13, at 11 a.m. In this action-packed performance, two unlikely heroes work together to save their town (and the planet) from a super-polluting mastermind.

Throughout the adventure, volunteers will help the performer conduct several exciting science experiments that bring this story to life. Together we’ll explore Newton’s Laws of Motion, air pressure, chemical reactions, and more. 

For a calendar of all the activities scheduled for our Summer Reading Program come by the library or become a “Fan” on the library’s Facebook page. 

NEW BOOKS: “Worthy Opponents” by Danielle Steel, “On the Line” by Fern Michaels, “The Heart’s Choice” by Tracie Peterson, “Meet Me at the Lake” by Carley Fortune, “In the Lives of Puppets” by T.J. Klune, “King: A Life” (BIO) by Jonathan Eig, and “Camera Girl: The Coming of Age of Jackie Bouvier Kennedy” (BIO) by Carl Sferrazza Anthony. 

BOOK BLURB: “King: A Life” by Jonathan Eig released 5/16/2023.  Vividly written and exhaustively researched, Jonathan Eig’s “King: A Life” is the first major biography in decades of the civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr., and the first to include recently declassified FBI files. In this landmark biography, Eig gives us an MLK for our times: a deep thinker, a brilliant strategist, and a committed radical who led one of history’s greatest movements.
