Your husband crosses the line in his flirtations with another woman at a dinner party. When you confront him, he asks you to stop being insecure and controlling. After a long argument, you apologize for giving him a hard time. This type of manipulation is known as “gaslighting,” and is explained along with steps on how to defeat it by Robin Stern in her new book ‘The Gaslight Effect.’
A candy-machine made for a school science fair goes haywire, taking over the school and the entire city in Matthew Daley’s ‘The Not-So Secret Society: Tale of the Gummy.’
It is the final month of the Summer Reading Club! Registration is ongoing all summer, so there is still time to come on down and sign up for your reading log and kit. There are tons of prizes and activities this year. Please check out website, Facebook page, or call 250-426-4063 for more information. There are also reading clubs for teens and adults.
Our Summer Reading Club prevents the dreaded “summer slide”—a state when kids who stop reading over the summer begin to lose some of what they have learned in school. With our reading logs, free events, and hands on learning, the Library aims to provide each young person a fun reason to keep reading, and to read what they like best. The program also helps reluctant readers, and is a perfect excuse for family time.
