Press release from the North Canton Public Library: Shelia June 10th, 2021 We love our Summer Reading themes, and I've talked a little about three of them, so today it's time for the fourth: Explore Music. This summer, Adults can earn tickets in our grad prize drawings by completing two of four activities on the four badges. One of the Music activities is to read a book about music. We have lots of books you can check out here (they are mostly in the 780s near the Reference Desk), or from one of our ebook services. I've even compiled a list below of some titles you might find interesting if you need some help picking a music book. (The book you read does not have to come from this list, though.) So enjoy some music this summer, and some reading, and some musical reading! Shelia PS It's not too late to sign up for Summer Reading, by the way! You can do so here.
