Exciting Week Ahead

This is going to be an exciting week at Bremen Public Library! Not only do we have two book club discussions and our regularly-scheduled Wiggle Worms and Preschool Story Hour, but we have two well-known authors coming to visit, a Halloween-themed Brick Club AND it's the final week to enter the Flash Fiction Challenge!

Here are some highlights for October 9-14:

The Night Owls Book Club meets on the second Monday of every month in the Upper Level Meeting Room of Bremen Public Library. Discussion leaders are Jill Byrd and Melissa Nunez.

TUESDAY, 6-7 PM

Bremen Public Library welcomes Tracy Korn, author of The Elements series, as the headline event of Teen Read Week. Korn will lead the audience in an interactive game about storytelling, followed by a Q & A time and a book signing. She will give away posters and bookmarks. Her books will be available for purchase and signing and she will be accompanied by live character representations from her books! Korn is an Indiana resident who holds three master's degrees from Indiana University. She has taught high school English for 17 years. Her students inspired her to write her debut novel, AQUA, which is the first book in The Elements series. The sequel, TERRA, was released Aug. 27, 2016. The third book in the series, AER, was just released in September.
