Calling All Book Lovers

Posted on August 9, 2016

Books. Remember those? Hardback, paperback, essay, or novel...there’s something to be said for holding a book in your hand and actually turning the page to see what comes next. Maybe the story takes an unexpected turn, or you learn something new, or maybe just re-read a favorite line from a beloved story.

Here are a few local places you can pick up a good read:

• Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial is a great place to find books about one of our nation’s greatest presidents. Learn about his life and times growing up in Spencer County, Indiana, and becoming a man of conviction and distinction many still admire today.
• If history of a more Christmassy tone is your preference, visit the Santa Claus Museum & Village to pick up one of their offerings. You can read all about the history of Santa Claus, Indiana, or a fun look back at many of the letters that have been written to Santa Claus over the last eighty years.
• No matter how technologically advanced we become, there’s still something special about a parent or grandparent reading to a small child. Make special memories with a book from Santa’s Candy Castle.

Pick up a new book today, or dust one off from the shelf, and see where it takes you.
