Senator Fred Strahorn (D-Dayton) will be holding a constituent day at the Huber Heights Branch Library on Saturday, March 13. He will be available to speak one on one with members of the community in the Meeting Room from 1:30 – 4:30 p.m. The event is open to the public.

This online database is a great resource for readers. It originally was set up for fiction and is great at helping you find all the books in a series or books that help answer the question, “What books are similar to those by my favorite author?” There are articles about specific topics in fiction such as “The Art of the Pitch” (Baseball), “Name That Aviator!” (pilot protagonists), and “Southern Sass: Women in Fiction” plus lists of award winners. Nonfiction is covered as well with articles on recent titles about animal welfare, the American military, politics in America and many more topics. You can access NoveList Plus in any Dayton Metro Library and from home with a DML library card.

This year's Big Read selection is Dreamers of the Day by Mary Doria Russell. Read the book, talk about it at a neighborhood discussion, nominate someone for a Big Read Award, and check out our events! Teens can enter a writing contest (two words: cash prizes) and Dayton will have two chances to meet the author on April 10. For more information, visit www.bigread.org. You may also pick up a flyer listing the events and book discussions at your local library.
