The library is hosting a drop-in Vision Board Party on Saturday, January 25th, 2025 in the Shelby Southard History Room from 10 am – 12 pm. Patrons of all ages are invited to come and create a vision board that motivates you to reach your goals in 2025. Supplies will be provided by library staff, but patrons are welcome to bring their own craft supplies and magazine clippings to personalize their boards. Patrons can also take their boards home with them if they are not able to complete the project within the time frame. If anyone has questions regarding the event they can reach out to Lauren Tubbs at ltubbs@alcpl.org or at 256-232-1233.

Add these books to your To-Be-Read list! This year we are participating in the Calhoun Community College Common Read.
“Calhoun’s Common Read program is a community reading collaboration with the goal of building bridges within the community through sharing the same stories. This annual effort, akin to a community-wide book club, features events throughout the city that highlight a selected book, story, author, and theme.”
This challenge is for children ages 0 to 6. Using Beanstack, parents can track the reading of their children by logging 1000 books before they start Kindergarten.
Calhoun Community College faculty members discuss the Common Read 2024-2025. Dr. Symmetris Gohanna, Bradley Sides, and Brandi Gindhart of the English, Literature, and Composition programs introduce this year’s theme on disability awareness. They highlight programs being held throughout the year to bring students and the community together through the experience of reading a common text. The two books selections for the Common Read are Disability Visibility by Alice Wong and The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store by James McBride. Kick-off event is Sunday, August 18th at the Orion Amphitheater!

With its diverse ecosystem of mountains, plateaus, valleys, rivers and glades, Alabama boasts over 3000 native plant species. Among those are over 28 endemic plants that grow only in Alabama and nowhere else in the world. Identifying, locating, and conserving these rare and often endangered plants are the topics of this podcast.
