Janie G.
Janie is 9 years old and loves helping out, making friends, and reading graphic novels. 'Smile' by Raina Telgemeier is her all-time favorite. When she’s not at the library, you’ll find her playing soccer, hanging out with friends, or watching movies. Her favorite thing about the library? The people! When asked who at the library inspires her, Janie said "Mrs. Crystal because she is very kind and friendly." If you need a book recommendation, Janie’s got you covered... she recommends the 'I Survived' series, 'Smile,' 'Click' and 'Camp' from the 'Click' series by Kayla Miller, and any 'Bluey' book. Janie is creative, kind, and always brings a little extra joy to the library whenever she visits!
Beyond the History Books: A Personal Holocaust Story
Sharie, Indiana resident, will join us to share her family's story. Her mother and maternal grandmother were the only two survivors of their large family. Her father is a WWII Historian and was a translator for the Nuremberg Trials in Germany for one year following WWII. Sharie's powerful story is one filled with survival, resilience, and remembrance. (Ages 13+)
