The South Milwaukee Public Library always sponsors a Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. read in January. This year the week long celebration will be the week of January 21. Volunteers select from a collection of books that the library sets aside and reads to the fourth graders in the public and private schools on the topic of civil rights. If you would like to be a reader, please call Miss Denise at 768-8195 Ext 3 to register.
Like to discuss books? You are invited to the Thursday afternoon book club. The groups meets the second Thursday of the month at 1 pm in the Library Board room. Call the Reference Desk to find out the current selection.
