Adult Reading

The importance of reading is often stressed for children, but reading is equally important for adults. Reading exercises the brain. New information, new ideas and new understanding help create new circuits in the brain and stimulate thought. The physical process of following print back and forth across a page exercises the eyes. An active mind remains young. The expression “being in a rut” is true. If you perform regular habit forming activities, your brain follows the same repetitive wave lengths while other circuits in your brain atrophy and new ones are not formed.

Exercise your mind by reading  2-3 hours a week. Think of the library as your fitness center and health club.  Visit the library and browse our shelves. There are thousands of wonderful books about many interesting subjects just waiting to be discovered.

A book a day may help keep Alzheimer’s away.  

Book BLOG

Find out what books people are talking about. Discuss books with others who enjoy reading.  Recommend your favorites. Discuss the plots, characters, settings and authors.  Compare books with others that are reminiscent of the same writing style, setting, characters and movies. Please, do not reveal how a book ends. We hope you will discover new books and be enticed into reading some of the books discussed.

The Friends of Sanilac District Library  is an organization of citizens dedicated to promoting the continued growth of our library and its services throughout the Carsonville - Port Sanilac School District and Sanilac Township. Nominal dues create a wide base of membership giving moral and financial support to projects designed to benefit the library. All money raised from membership and fundraising events is used to provide additional library materials, computers, equipment and programs.

The Friends of Sanilac District Library are a group of people from all walks of life and all ages who share a common belief that a good public library is a valuable community asset that must be nourished and supported.

We would be pleased to have you as a Friend! Even though you may not want to work actively on a committee, there are many ways in which you can participate in our Friends Group. Simply joining and counting yourself among our Friends is one such way.
