Free AudioBooks
Every year, AudioFile offers two free audio books weekly over the summer, and the service starts this week. This year they are using the teen version of the Overdrive app, called Sora. It is a product we are looking into using next year for offering eBooks and audiobooks for middle and high school, so this would be a great chance to try it out.
There are two books that are offered every week, and unlike books you borrow through the library, these files remain on your device until you delete them.

Author Visit at Green Brain Comics
A very cool event is happening at Green Brain Comics on Wednesday, March 13th from 5-7. The author of the New series of Ms. Marvel comic series will be signing books at Green Brain. Saladin Ahmed is a Dearborn native, who has authored numerous comics as well as the Hugo Award nominated novel, Throne of the Crescent Moon. This is an amazing series of books, and I am glad they will be continuing. Come to the library and check them out!
New Chairs!
Thanks to a grant from the Dearborn Education Foundation, we were able to purchase some awesome new seating for the media center. Two of the chairs have laptop tables with outlets behind them, which make them a great spot to work. The other chairs have springy backs and are a great spot to get comfortable with a book. Come down to the media center and try them out!
