Posted May 21, 2014

On Saturday, May 31 at 6pm, we are welcoming Stone Soup Shakespeare to the library lawn for an evening of comedic fun. You don't need to be a scholar to appreciate the wit and insight of Shakespeare's work, and Stone Soup Shakespeare makes it their mission to let this be known.

Listen Up: Dance!

Posted May 14, 2014

At Shorewood Library we have a pretty indie-heavy CD collection. When you're looking for a new jam that's a little outside the box, let us suggest you browse the New Materials lists in CountyCat or on our website. You'll more than likely have to request the CDs you want - they're popular! This month we've got a few new albums you NEED to hear if you're in the mood to dance with the windows open and the spring breeze flowing.

Non-Fic Picks for May

Posted May 5, 2014

This month brings us a host of current event titles. While we often hear current events stories on the news, books allow us to delve deeply into a particular event, bringing together sources and points of view from diverse angles and dissecting the event so we better-understand its meaning. From the Boston Marathon bombing, to the question of antibiotics, our Non-Fic Picks for May will get you thinking both broadly and deeply about our world.

We're Up All Night to Get Lucky

Posted April 30, 2014

With a book, that is. And it's more like all day than all night. But the important news is this: our Lucky Day collection is here and ready to be browsed, picked over, cherished, and, most importantly, checked out. 

Composed of current high-demand fiction - from the young adult blockbuster The Fault in Our Stars to Arianna Huffington's latest book, Thrive - the Lucky Day collection is designed to be a real score. Come in to the library and see what we've got: it's first come, first served. We cannot place holds on any of the items in the collection so whatever is in the library when you stop by is yours for the taking.
