We frequently hear from customers that would love to join a book club but are simply too busy. Or maybe they cannot find a book club with a meeting time that matches their schedule. That is why DCPL has an online book club, where you can discuss books whenever you have the time, from your computer or smartphone.
The DC Public Library will be open during its regular hours on Thursday, March 7.
“Selamat Siang, Apa Kabar?”
These are a few of the phrases that participants learned at Georgetown’s recent Indonesian Culture and Folktales event. But there was much more to learn than just how to say "Good Afternoon" and "How Are You."
On display were batik fabrics, statues, and coconut carvings from Bali, Indonesia. The kids even got a chance to handle wayang kulit, shadow puppets that have been used for at least 800 years in Indonesia.
There are still a few more spaces available for the four-week Tuesday evening class starting in March.
If you can knit and want to learn how to make socks, then please sign up before it's too late!

Check the book out, then unwrap it when you get home to see if this date will have you sneaking out the window or if it just might become your next literary soul mate.
... and just like a real blind date, you won't know exactly what you are getting into until you've already agreed on giving the other party a chance!
