Bunco for Books! April 5

Posted by lclemons on 28 February 19

The Friends of the Library invite bunco players of all skill levels to come to the Crown Point Library on Friday, April 5 for a night of dice rollin’ fun that will help raise money for books. Proceeds from this fundraiser will be used to support the Library’s literacy outreach efforts including purchasing books and supplies for Book Babies, Library book discussion groups and more. These free services, offered through the Library, are made possible by the generous funding provided by the Friends of the Library.
So call up your best friends to support literacy and let the good times roll on Friday, April 5.

The event will take place in the Crown Point Library meeting rooms. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. and Bunco will start at 7 p.m. Game instruction will also start at 6:30 p.m. for new bunco players.
Tickets are $40 per person or $35 for Friends of the Library members and include your game entry, dinner (Rosatti’s Pizza) and two raffle tickets. Tickets on sale now and available for purchase at the Crown Point Library.

Bunco is an easy-to-learn game! All you need to do is roll the dice and keep score!

Do you have a reluctant reader?

Posted by lclemons on 06 February 19

Kids become lifelong readers for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes there’s one book that captures their imagination and opens him or her up to the exciting world of fiction. Other times, a teacher who assigns great books in class and in some cases, the parent influences the appreciation of books by sharing their own love of literature and modeling reader behavior by always having a book to read, taking books on vacation, reading before bedtime or regularly visiting the library!

Do you have a reluctant reader? Engage with ebooks! The electronic format has proved to be especially engaging for reluctant readers, and you can download or access many books on an ereader or tablet, which make it a great choice for travel, and car rides. Check out the library’s collection of ebooks on RBdigital!
