McKinley Memorial Library is pleased to announce we are in partnership with the Library Speakers Consortium (LSC). The Consortium is a group of libraries that pool resources to hire well-known fiction and nonfiction adult, children's, and young adult authors to speak to their patrons. All programs are broadcast live (online) and recorded for later viewing. You can access our LSC webpage to see a list of upcoming speakers and view past recordings. You can also subscribe to monthly event email reminders about current and upcoming speakers from the Library Speakers Consortium!

Join us for an enchanting and educational discussion with bestselling author Kate Messner as we delve into her Over and Under series, best suited for a K-3rd grade audience.
The beautifully illustrated Over and Under books explore precious ecosystems, landscapes, and the animals that call these places “home,” all over the world. From snowy terrains to the Everglades, to the rainforests and even the dirt beneath our feet, these books make an upbeat jumping-off point for discussions of the importance and wonder of our world’s natural habitats.
Kids are endlessly curious about the natural world and the wildly varied animals living in it, and the Over and Under books help to nurture that interest by celebrating the hidden marvels and creatures all around us.
Register now to be reinspired all over again by the vastness of our world!
