Paws For Reading
Wednesday, June 26 - New or struggling readers in grades 1-5 are invited to sign up for a 15-minute "Paws for Reading" session with our local certified therapy dogs. Dogs are excellent listeners! The goal is to provide a non-judgmental atmosphere in which kids can read without correction or interruption and learn not just to read, but to love reading as well.
- A handful of books will be available, but feel free to bring one from home. Each child will have one-on-one reading time.

Saturday, June 29, 10:00am-1:00pm We are partnering with SSLDL to hold Community Electronic Recycling events for our community. Lyon Township residents are welcome to drop off old computer electronics in the library parking lot, to be broken down and recycled through a certified company.
Residents should place any electronic equipment they're looking to recycle at the event in the trunk of their vehicle, so the line can flow and we can remove and close their trunk. Any hard drives received from the event will be destroyed.
Limit of 4 boxes per vehicle. *Please note, this event is scheduled from 10 AM - 1 PM, but the event will end early if the truck is full.*

Bread and Circus
by Airea D. Matthews
This powerful and timely collection of autobiographical poems from Yale Young Poets Award Winner and Philadelphia's former Poet Laureate Airea D. Matthews about the economics of class is a brilliant intellectual and artistic contribution to the ongoing conversation about American inequality. As a former student of economics, Airea D. Matthews was fascinated and disturbed by 18th-century Scottish economist Adam Smith's magnum opus The Wealth of Nations. Now, she presents a direct challenge to Smith's theory of the invisible hand, which claims self-interest is the key to optimal economic outcomes. By juxtaposing redacted texts by Smith and the French Marxist Guy Debord with autobiographical prose and poems, Bread and Circus personally offers how self-interest fails when it reduces people to commodity and spectacle. A layered collection to be read and reread, with poems that range from tragic to humorous, in forms as varied and nuanced as the ideas the book considers, Bread and Circus asks what it is to have survived, indeed to have flourished, and at what cost.
