Join us this afternoon (TUESDAY, September 16) for Teen Café. The annual ACPL Poetry Contest begins September 22. The Pontiac Branch would like to welcome teens to explore various types of poetry and create their own original works to submit.
The poetry contest is open to all students in grades 5 – 12. The theme this year is “Go Green” (environmentally friendly poetry). Contest deadline is November 3.

The Staff Picks display, which General Reference Librarian Sara has been creating for over a year, is now available digitally via LibraryThing.com! Sara has collected the titles of over 650 books that are staff favorites, and has been displaying them in the Great Hall of the main library. Patrons love to know what librarians are reading, so these books go fast!
Our Staff Picks library on LibraryThing.com can be viewed in either cover view or list view. Each book is tagged with the name of the staff who recommended it; links to the ACPL catalog, member reviews and recommendations are also included. We encourage patrons to explore our staff picks on LibraryThing.com, and if you find a book you like, add it to your own LibraryThing.com library.
If you’re a member, why not add ACPL as a friend?
We have an event calendar that makes it easy to find out what library programs and events are happening near you. From the ACPL Home Page, click on Programs. Choose to narrow down by location, age level or category and check out all the great stuff going on at ACPL.
