Join us on Thursday, August 29th at 5:30 for a fun comedy about a group of women in a retirement home who decide to start a cheer squad.  It stars Diane Keaton and Rhea Perlman.  I can't tell you the title, but its what they shake.
This is an Adult Only Movie that is rated PG-13.

This summer we partnered with six other libraries in three counties to create a series of programs and discussions from the book One World: A Global Anthology of Short Stories. Our library led the way by hosting the first event. Dr. Julie Bowen set the bar high for the programs that followed! She led a lively discussion of two of the stories. The program is ending with a final gathering at the Cider Hill family Orchard on August 4th at 2pm. Participants in the program had their passports stamped and are now eligible for prize baskets! A special thanks to  MGP Ingredients for donating the basket for Atchison.
If you missed out this year, don't worry! We have plans for another summer adventure in 2020!

It's baaaaaaack!
Join us on August 1st at 6:00 for the Talk About Literature in Kansas Series After the Fact.  Some events in our lives are so pivotal that once they occur everything changes.  The three books in the series deal with the changes that happen during and after major traumas.
The first book is The Things They Carried and deals with the Vietnam War.
Come join us for lively discussions and great reads.  Love it or hate it, we want to hear from you. 
The books are available at the circulation desk.
See you then.

The Atchison Public Library will be CLOSED July 4th. We will be open regular hours the next day, Friday the 5th, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Enjoy the Fourth!

Join Master Gardener Mikey Stafford for a presentation on container gardening on July 9th at 6:00.  Tomatoes on the table, petunias on the patio, dahlias on the deck, come sprout ideas for raising plants.

Is life tasteless? Are things boring? Mealtimes lacking in flavor? Want to add zest to your life? Spice it up? Join us on June 20th at 6:00 for a special edition of Food Freaks. We will be making homemade spice mixes. The Library will provide the ingredients. Just bring yourself and a willingness to heat things up.
Muy Caliente! ​
