Rock Out!
Time to rock out and get your groove on with a book! How can you do that? Visit your local library, check coolcat, and check the book display in the Spot at Midtown. This fall we're starting a Music Club at Midtown, so if you have some ideas we'd love to hear them (there's a suggestion drop box on the Spot book display)!
Here's a short sample of what the library has to offer (check out Coolcat for more):
