Write a commentEvery April Thursday evening there will be a program offered at the Oswego Public Library. The new Language Xchange nights start off at 6 PM on Thursday April 5th in our Community Room.
Gather with others and teach a few phrases in the language of your choice to everyone. English definitely counts! These hours are designed to be relaxed and as much about connecting with people as about learning a new language. Language Xchange will be at 6 PM the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month in our Community Room. Conversational. Comfy.
LEGO Club gathers upstairs in the Children’s Room on Thursday April 12th. Enjoy a time for kids to build and create with the Oswego City-County Youth Bureau. After the 6-7 PM LEGO Club, creations will be displayed in the Children’s Room until May 10th.
Reading Circle discusses Amor Towles’ A Gentleman in Moscow at 6:30 PM on Thursday April 26th. (If you want to get a quicker book fix, they will discuss The Radium Girls by Kate Moore on March 22nd.) A Gentleman in Moscow is a charming reminder of the gracious aristocratic attitude, equal parts urbane and humane. Mr. Towles shows class “has nothing to do with money; it’s predicated on the kind of moral discipline that never goes out of style.”
A visit from National Geographic’s 2012 Adventurer of the Year highlights our special programs for April.

She has a new book, The Pursuit of Endurance: Harnessing the Record-Breaking Power of Strength and Resilience, being published April 10th.
