9:00 am: Newborns Born June 5-11 Receive Special Welcome From Libraries for Children's Book Week9:00 am: Newborns Born June 5-11 Receive Special Welcome From Libraries for Children's Book Week –
“We hope to start every child born in hospitals in Fort Bend County on a successful road to life-long learning,” says Susan King, Coordinator of Youth Services for FBCL. “We distribute the baby book bags to babies born during that week at area Fort Bend County hospitals, but ALL Fort Bend County babies who are born during the week of June 5 through 11 are eligible to receive one, while supplies last.” Families of Fort Bend babies born at other locations during this period should call the Youth Services department, at 281-633-4762, to receive their book bag. Not only is reading to a child a wonderful opportunity for bonding between parent and child, it has also been shown to stimulate brain development. Even the youngest baby can benefit from the chance to develop eye focus by looking at the page of a book, while being comforted by the familiar voice of a parent. Reading aloud to children exposes them to the sounds and cadences of a human voice, resulting in an earlier and stronger grasp of vocabulary skills. Helping children develop early-literacy skills is a major goal for FBCL. Parents are encouraged to register their children for FBCL’s annual “Summer Reading Challenge.” Children from infancy through school-age earn rewards for the number of books they read (or are read to them) during the summer. Parents can register their child for the Summer Reading Challenge by going to the FBCL website, clicking on the “SRC Sign-Up image, and using the link for the Beanstack app to sign up. Easy-to-use online reading logs are available. For more information, see the Fort Bend County Libraries website (www.fortbend.lib.tx.us), or call the library system’s Communications Office (281-633-4734).

10:00 am: Fort Bend County Libraries’ Online Book Club To Discuss “The Lost City Of The Monkey God”10:00 am: Fort Bend County Libraries’ Online Book Club To Discuss “The Lost City Of The Monkey God” –
FBCL Reads book-club meetings will be live-streamed through Webex so that readers can participate virtually and interact with others in real time. The book club will meet online on the fourth Wednesday of every month.
Since the days of the conquistadors, rumors have circulated about a lost city of immense wealth hidden somewhere in the Honduran interior. Indigenous tribes warn that anyone who enters this sacred city will fall ill and die. In 1940, journalist Theodore Morde returned from the rainforest with hundreds of artifacts and an electrifying story of having found the Lost City of the Monkey God -- but then committed suicide without revealing its location. In 2012, bestselling author Doug Preston joined a team of scientists on a new quest using advanced technology. Flying over an unexplored valley ringed by steep mountains, they discovered tantalizing evidence of an undiscovered lost civilization. Venturing into this treacherous, but breathtakingly beautiful wilderness to confirm the discovery, Preston and the team battled torrential rains, quickmud, disease-carrying insects, jaguars, and deadly snakes. It was not until they returned, however, that Preston and others found they had contracted in the ruins a horrifying, sometimes lethal (and incurable) disease. Suspenseful and shocking, filled with colorful history, hair-raising adventure, and dramatic twists, this New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller is the true, eyewitness account of one of the great discoveries of the twenty-first century. This book selection is available in print, audio, and digitally as an e-book and e-audiobook through FBCL’s e-Library OverDrive collection. Additional print copies are available at George Memorial Library in Richmond. The book club is free and open to the public. Registration is required; a link to the Webex teleconference will be emailed to all who register. To register online at the library’s website (www.fortbend.lib.tx.us), click on “Classes & Events,” select “Virtual Programs,” and find the program on the date indicated. Participants may also register by calling George Memorial Library (281-342-4455). |
