Last Month Snap Shots
12 cars were entered into our 3D Car Pine Wood Derby Race on August 10! Thank you to everyone who participated!
Members of the e-NABLE Committee attended the Lucky Fin Project and Maker Faire-Detroit conferences to distribute 3D printed arms and took requests for smaller arms. Thank you to Dr. Webber, Assistant Superintendent for the Novi Community School District, for allowing us to borrow additional 3D printers to accomplish our goal of printing 40 arms for distribution at the Marker Faire.

New to the Library - VOX Books
 This August, VOX Books were added to the Youth Collection. Each VOX book has a built in audio player so that guests can read and listen to their favorite picture books without having to use a CD player. There is also a headphone jack making them a great option for travel-just plug your headphones in and you are all set. Each book is good for about 150 plays before needing to be charged, which the library will take care of. We are very excited to offer these books to our guests!

Read, Enjoy, Share! 
When you stop by ITC or Pavilion Shore Parks this fall be sure to take advantage of some great reads! Designed to encourage summer reading for all ages, keep the book as long as you like and when done,
 return it to the Read Box or the Library. The Read Boxes will be available until October 2019.
Thank you to Kendra Scott (Twelve Oaks Mall) for a donation of youth books that will be placed in the Read Boxes and for supporting literacy in our community!
