Yesterday, two lovely ladies from the Marathon Garden Club decorated a real Christmas tree for us. The theme this year is very “Keysie”—sea shell shapes, tropical fish, star fish, real sand dollars, fish netting, etc.

Come on down & see it.

Teens Read! books

This is a list of the current Teens Read! books. Heather Doney the Reading Coach and English Department Chair at Marathon Middle/High School gave us this list. If you don’t have a library card yet, she’ll give you a form. Take it home. Have your folks fill it out. After you bring it back to us at the Marathon Library, we can give you a card. Then you can check out books from us.

We have some of these books here at the Marathon Library. Once you have a Marathon Library card, you can take any of these books home.

If the book title has a line under it, a hyperlink, you can click on it & “Request” it from our website. So, get your library card ready (you’ll need your card number to request books) & decide which books you want to have sent to you.

When the book shows up at our library, we’ll call you at home & tell you it arrived. Be sure we have your correct telephone number so we can get in touch with you. If you want to, you can call us at 743-5156 to make sure we have your correct phone number in our computer. Otherwise, how we call you when your book comes?

Pick out a book & start reading. ENJOY!!
