Podcasts are coming!


Watch for podcasts soon!

This month's book club title!

This month we are reading Marley and Me by John Grogan. Please visit the library to check out a copy.

Library Journal said:

Grogan, a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer and former editor of Organic Gardening magazine, offers a humorous and loving tribute to Marley (after Bob Marley), his late 100-pound yellow Labrador. The story begins in south Florida when Grogan and his wife, Jenny, decide to adopt a puppy and begin their search. Marley quickly grows and starts to do things that Grogan interprets as typical puppy behavior—chewing shoes, tearing curtains, and jumping up on people. But after several months, Marley's behavior turns more destructive—during thunderstorms, for example, he chews up pieces of walls and damages doors. Grogan recounts various efforts to correct Marley's behavior over a period of years, interweaving them with events in his wife's and children's lives. Throughout, the family is steadfastly devoted to this badly behaved yet totally lovable and loyal pup. Grogan includes the column from the Philadelphia Inquirer, written after Marley's death, that elicited many reader responses and spurred him to write Marley's life story. Readers in public libraries whose dogs would qualify for the "Bad Dog Club" will delight in this tribute; recommended.—Eva Lautemann, Georgia Perimeter Coll. Lib., Clarkston
