Adult Book Club
New date, time and location!!! We will now meet on the 2nd Thursday of the month at 4:00 pm at our Leffler Street location. Our book club meets once a month. We read fiction and nonfiction with insightful, fun and energetic discussions about each read!
Our next meeting is Thursday, August 14th at 4:00 pm. We are discussing “Creation Lake” by Rachel Kushner.
A woman is caught in the crossfire between the past and the future in this part-spy novel, part-profound treatise on human history.
Sadie Smith – a 34-year-old American undercover agent of ruthless tactics, bold opinions and clean beauty – is sent by her mysterious but powerful employers to a remote corner of France. Her mission: to infiltrate a commune of radical eco-activists led by the charismatic svengali Bruno Lacombe. https://thebookerprizes.com/the-booker-library/books/creation-lake

Cypress RESUME
Reminiscing Kits for Seniors
Reminiscing Kits for Senior have been developed for individuals with memory issues and their caregivers. We hope these kits stir memories and spark conversation. The kits include activities that can be done individually or with someone. The kits feature different themes relating to various topics. For example, farming, cooking and baking, birds, games, quilting, fishing, etc.
These kits are available at the Dodgeville Public Library and may be checked out for up to 4 weeks. Each kit provides a multi-sensory activity; visual, auditory, and tactile.
There is no charge for damaged or lost pieces. We are aware cognitively challenged people may get a little too zealous with activities and even may hide items. We do not want anyone to be afraid to check out or use the kits for fear something may be damaged or lost.
The Aging & Disability Resource Center, Iowa County Health Department and Dodgeville Public Library worked on developing the kits. CrestRidge Senior Living provided additional funding for the kits.
