Kids' Book Club Returns in September

For 4th & 5th graders

This month's theme: kids choose the book.

Bring a favorite book you've been reading and share it with the group — funny stories, adventures, mysteries, or anything hard to put down.

Kids can share their pick, discover new books, and meet other young readers.

Pokémon day at the Commerce Public Library: play, trade cards, and meet fellow Pokémon fans!

Every 3rd Saturday of the month from noon to 2 p.m. !

Commerce Public Library's Adult Book Club meets on the last Thursday of each month!

For September, they're reading any book written by Jenny Lawson. Her books are nonfiction memoirs and extremely funny. The past few months have been such serious and depressing subject matter books, so it's time for a giggle break.

Here is a list of her books:
-Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir (2012)
-Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things (2015)
-You Are Here: An Owner's Manual for Dangerous Minds (2017) – An interactive art and coloring book
-Broken (in the best possible way) (2021)
-How to Be Okay When Nothing Is Okay: Tips and Tricks That Kept Me Alive, Happy, and Creative in Spite of Myself (2026)

If you have an Amazon Prime account, both the ebook and the audiobook of her very short essay, I Choose Darkness, are free to download and read.

Join us on the second Tuesday of each month for Switch & Stitch — a relaxed evening where everyone gets to do their thing.
🧵 Bring your knitting, crochet, embroidery, or any craft project
🎮 Bring a kiddo (or two!) who likes to play the Nintendo Switch
While the kids play and take turns gaming, you can stitch, knit, and visit with other crafters. It’s a simple way to unwind and connect.
🗓 Second Tuesdays
⏰ 5:30–7:00 PM
📍 Commerce Public Library
No registration required — just bring your project and join us!
