Walking Book Club

Daniel Boone Regional Library is encouraging mid-Missourians to read, walk, and talk this summer. "As part of Summer Reading, we'll be hosting a walking book club at the Columbia Public Library on the second Wednesday of the month throughout the summer. This club combines three necessities for a healthy brain: mental, physical and social activity. Participants will take a 30-minute walk, leaving from the library, followed by a book discussion." Check out the schedule on DBRL's blog.

Ashley Granger, Library Specialist in Collection Services, and her husband Shannon welcomed their son Jack on January 26. Since Ashley's shower was originally planned for January 27, it had to be postponed! On April 22, we got to meet adorable baby Jack and shower him with gifts and snuggles.
