Happy Friday! The Oscoda County Library has a very exciting event that we would like to invite all of you to attend. We will be presenting Young Audiences, New York's Literature to Life performance of *The Giver on Wednesday, April 12, 2017 at 6:30pm* at our main branch in Mio. This is a free event for our community. Literature to Life will also be presenting two workshops in our local school for 7th grade students currently studying this book. *THIS IS A MUST SEE EXPERIENCE!* This is an amazing experience for the students in your community and even more wonderful if you are the one that can bring it to them. My hope is to get some other libraries on board for next year and offer this to as many communities as possible. Literature to Life has been presented by the Whiting in Flint for many years now and has also been to the Macomb Center. Our library received a grant from the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs to help bring this program in, so there is funding out there to help with the costs. So please, if you have the opportunity, join us for this event. I would love to talk to you about the program and the impact it has had on our students and community members! Let us know if you will be attending, 989-826-3613 or reply to this email. Thanks for your time and have a wonderful weekend! -- *Beth A. Barron* Programming Clerk Oscoda County Library
