To kick off the month, we sent out a special edition of our Off the Shelf! eNewsletter featuring key programs. <a href="https://conta.cc/36rHzNW" data-qe-id="permalink-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(13, 65, 123);text-decoration:underline;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif;font-size:15px;text-align:left">https://conta.cc/36rHzNW</a>.
One of our LIVE Storytimes featured 7-year-old Mackenzie Smith reading her new book, "My New Normal". Mackenzie also appeared on our latest episode of The Director's Cut podcast with Library Director Kristin Shelley. <a class="oajrlxb2 g5ia77u1 qu0x051f esr5mh6w e9989ue4 r7d6kgcz rq0escxv nhd2j8a9 nc684nl6 p7hjln8o kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x jb3vyjys rz4wbd8a qt6c0cv9 a8nywdso i1ao9s8h esuyzwwr f1sip0of lzcic4wl py34i1dx gpro0wi8" href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FELPLDirCutMackenzieSmith%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1TP8eJ4ODS1SDEiOWJQYtbeGJAKNPUaKQhujozlLPzoNZqMd7ceFI1PoU&h=AT2_7qvHUYK7jdmIjPVE1ssDA6WPIg-yqlyeNBuIPjw59qE8n8DEh-dXStoRJC4fFumFsGcNRxQN6CKOHpX7QWcueJpc21STlw0WhpPcRrH8ZJRzPl8ETWzDvN-UWCXXvQ&__tn__=-UK-R&c[0]=AT1Rtk8uJF7PXILMggbRrLlMycZ_qSkj9cjNWtX0Y_GK_s7mbJraARQg3VuEKyG8Pk-F9gNtKMw3V8_Oht3N39fss64PDkYIYkd_1LsVPqnXtwTWpyThgEqnz0IP6HiZ3kdCae5zBo07UQpDUMnzUCQdbny-ueoSHSCyxsD5Zh-8ib_c_8GGDp7m8hN-kHFuwscIQeE" rel="nofollow noopener" tabindex="0" target="_blank" style="color:var(--blue-link);cursor:pointer;text-decoration:underline;outline:none;list-style:none;border-width:0px;margin:0px;touch-action:manipulation;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);display:inline;box-sizing:border-box;font-family:"Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:15px" id="LPlnk795483">http://bit.ly/ELPLDirCutMackenzieSmith</a></div>
