The GFWC Dickson County Woman's Club donated the lovely books seen in the picture to the left.

"Thank you so much! We can not wait to get these books on our shelves. We LOVE books on diversity!"
- Faith Johnson, JWL Director.

We believe that teaching diversity at a young age is necessary. These books along with others that have been added to our collection will help in doing that.

As always, the Jennie Woodworth Library greatly appreciates the kindness of our community and the community organizations. Our library has been built by our community and is supported by our community.

Thank You.



Lovely by Jess Hong -  Lovely explores a world of differences that all add up to the same thing: we are all lovely! That is the central message of author/illustrator Jess Hong's charmingly thoughtful and unfailingly entertaining picture book story for children ages 4 to 8.

This book can be found in the Easy section of our Children's Collection.

The computers were checked out 49 times.

Through donations and purchases we were able to add 25 more resources to our catalog in the month of May.

Kick off the summer!

Summer Reading Log
 Make sure to stop by JWL for your summer reading log. When you pick up the log you will also get a "I love to read" bracelet. The only restriction is you need to have a current library card in good standing.

The Summer Reading Log 2021 allows participants to track their reading over the summer. In addition on the back of the log, the summer activities are listed.


For those that complete their log and activities, they can enter to win a prize at the end of summer.

Don't let the summer slump affect your reading! We have added over 200 books into the children's room this last year. We are sure there will be something that your children will love to read.

BINGO!
And Parents! we also have bingo! Not just for the kiddos but for you too! We have three groups of bingo cards; littles, readers, and adults. For all the cards when you complete them you can get a prize plus enter to win a big prize at the end of summer.

Don't forget the activities on Thursdays as well. Our calendar is on the previous Summer Reading Post.

We can not wait to see you this summer!
