"Take a Child Outside" is a whole week (September 24-30) devoted to enjoying all things outdoors with children. So show nature to your children and get them moving, whether by taking a hike, just visiting a local park to look for all the kinds of trees we live among, or collecting pictures of the bugs that live in your own back yard. When you visit the library, check out our display for more inspirational ideas.

Apocalypse Now. Most all of us have had someone blithely say "Well, it's not the end of the world" when we've shared a personal woe. But, what if it were the end of the world? What if something so drastic occured that the world as we know it no longer existed? What would life be like then? This display of dystopian novels is sure to catch your attention and get you wondering.

Hurricane Katrina was the cataclysmic force that did destroy the world of New Orleans and its citizens in 2005. Out of the maelstrom, Dave Eggers penned Zeitoun, the heartrending book at the center of this year's One Book One Community programs and activities in East Lansing and at MSU. After reading this powerful telling of how one family endured the consequences of Katrina, learn even more about Katrina by visiting this display of other available materials.
