This week’s reads at the East End Library

04/23/2018 6:00 AM by

Hello, Church Hill book lovers!

As we start the last week of April, I wanted to ask if anyone reading the CHPN is an author or an aspiring author? We’ve got a few creative programs coming for those involved in writing or story telling that you can’t miss out on!

This week, the Story Warriors will be meeting at the East End Branch on Tuesday April 24th at 4:00pm for their bi-weekly meeting. This is a program for kids that are about 8 years old through 18, and who are interested in learning how to tell stories, or are interested in performing for an audience. Les Schaffer helps coach kids into being better performers and in pursuing their own creative tales.

In addition, on Saturday April 28th at 11:00am, we will have the South Side Writers Group here to talk about self-publishing and encouraging each other to write more and get stories out to the public. From memoirs to fiction to short stories, if you have a story to tell or if you’ve been thinking about writing this group will help get you there.

And of course, we are always looking for more books and stories at the East End Library! We got a lot of new children’s books this week, but got a few titles in every category to share. You’ll see our selection of titles below, as well as a few that we pulled out to mention specifically to the CHPN readers!

Happy reading, Church Hill!

Remember that a library card with the Richmond Public Library is FREE if you’ve never had one with us before, and only costs a dollar to replace (for those who may have permanently “misplaced” their card). We now also offer an e-card, so you can get access to e-books, e-audiobooks, and stream movies and tv shows through our online resources. You can get the e-card here, and can get a free library card at any location as long as you bring your photo ID that has your current address on it (or proof of your address, like a bill or a lease).
