Beach Reads 2012

Looking for your next great read this Summer? Or maybe just a quick page-turner? Then go no further than Brownsburg Public Library's Beach Reads display (featuring a poem written by a very talented library employee)!

Even if you're not actually going to the beach, you can escape the heat - or long for even more of it, depending on what you like - by checking out a book from this great selection! This three-tiered display is currently located between the Computer Lab and New Book shelves, and will remain there through June and July. Below is just a sneak peek, but it will be replenished regularly. Call (317)852-3167 option 2 with any questions, or e-mail us at askus@brownsburg.lib.in.us.

Great Outdoors, Dairy, and Dairy Alternatives!

Did you know that June is Great Outdoors Month? If you haven't already, find out what your community has to offer in the way of local bike and walking trails, and other outdoor activities. The B&O Trail runs through Hendricks County! Here at the library we have a set of small maps, called Ride Hendricks County, that you can ask for at the front Reference Desk. They are sorted by town, so you can figure out where you want to bike!

June is also Dairy Alternatives Month and Dairy Month-there is a celebration for everything! This month encourages you to either explore alternative foods to dairy (such as beans, nuts, almond or rice milk), or to continue on that cheese and yogurt kick! Our library features a selection of dairy, vegan and dairy-free cookbooks. Check them out! Give us a call at (317) 852-3167 option 2 if you have any questions, or e-mail us at askus@brownsburg.lib.in.us.
