While we may add more events throughout the year, this will provide times and dates for many events. If you are interested in getting a copy, just stop by the children’s area or ask for a copy at the front desk.

What skill would you like to master?

As a piano major at Truman, my

ultimate goal in life is to master the

piano, and to teach others to love it as

much as I do.

What will inspire you to recommend a

book?

Sometimes after I finish a book,

it leaves me giddy and full with a new

vigor for life. For the rest of the day it’ll

be the only thing I think about, and

when that happens, I want to tell

absolutely everyone about it!

She recommends: Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
