Summer Reading, Book Discussions, More at Calloway County Library This Summer

Matt Markgraf, WKMS

The Calloway County Public Library has several events underway this summer, including a summer reading series, a public book discussion and theatrical performances for kids. Sandy Linn visits Sounds Good to speak with Tracy Ross about these events and how to participate in the discussion of When Love Gets Tough: The Nursing Home Decision, next Thursday.

The public book discussion is at 6:30 p.m. on June 25, sponsored by the Murray Calloway Endowment for Healthcare. The book is an easy read, Sandy Linn says, about giving loved ones what they need, which can sometimes be a difficult concept to wrap your mind around. There are some copies of the book available for free at the library.
