I'm planning a community-wide "Shred-It" event at the Library this Fall in which we invite people to come in and shred their important financial documents using a commercial shredder.

darienlibrary:

Now auditioning punny names and taglines for said event.

What I have so far:

1. Good in Shred

2. Better Off Shred

3. Dawn of the Shred

4. It’s a Great Day for a White Shredding

donganhillslibrary:

Wow, what a great program to have in the library!

“Once, in my father’s bookshop, I heard a regular customer say that few things leave a deeper mark on a reader than the first book that finds its way into his heart. Those first images, the echo of words we think we have left behind, accompany us throughout our lives and sculpt a palace in our memory to which, sooner or later—no matter how many books we read, how many worlds we discover, or how much we learn or forget—we will return.”
― Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind”

“I have a passion for teaching kids to become readers, to become comfortable with a book, not daunted. Books shouldn’t be daunting, they should be funny, exciting and wonderful; and learning to be a reader gives a terrific advantage.”
― Roald Dahl”
