Audiobook Club – Ages 8 and up
Sep 22 @ 4:00 pm – Oct 20 @ 5:00 pm

Audiobook Club meeting the fourth Tuesday of each month at 4 p.m.

Our upcoming Audiobook Club is a new offering! Kids 8 and up can either check out a library audiobook or bring one they are already listening too.

At the club, we will listen to our books while completing hands-on activities like puzzles or coloring. The meeting will finish off with a chance to share something about our audiobooks in order to find recommendations or just to connect to other kids about books they like.

This club will meet the 4th Tuesday of the Month at 4 p.m. starting on September 22nd.

Our Audiobook Club is supported by the institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act administered by the Missouri State Library, a division of the Office of Secretary of State.

This fall, University City Public Library will be offering a free, interactive, 8-week course in the Art of Communication and Leadership taught by a member of Toastmasters International, a public speaking organization.

We all want to learn how to be better communicators. In this course, our Youth Leaders will become more comfortable using new ways of communicating. Each participant will learn to give perspective, feedback and encouragement in a supportive environment. If something doesn’t work, Youth Leaders will be encouraged to try a new approach.

Every participant will be given a variety of roles and assignments, culminating in a celebration of their growth the final week. The opportunities for everyone to grow are endless!

Advance Registration is Required. The minimum size for the class is 10 participants.

To register, fill out the form available here and return it to the library in person or via email. If you have any questions, please reach out by calling the library or via email at youthservices@ucitylibrary.org
