All adults are invited each month to attend the Oscar Grady Library Adult Book Discussion Group to meet others in the community who share their love of books and to discuss selected popular fiction and non-fiction titles. On Wednesday, August 25th @ 6:30pm the Adult Book Discussion Group will be discussing “Nineteen Minutes” by Jodi Picoult.

Picoult considers the tragedy–in 19 quick minutes, 10 are dead and 19 are wounded–from several different perspectives, including that of the shooter, a troubled boy named Peter, who was mercilessly picked on at school.

Copies of the book are available for check-out at the circulation desk. Registration is recommended to reserve your copy of the discussion book. Please call the library at (262) 284-6022 to register.

Future Dates/Titles:

September 22nd – “Lottery” by Patricia Wood

The Oscar Grady Public Library’s Homebound Delivery Program brings library materials on a bi-monthly basis to residents of the Village of Saukville who are unable to leave their home due to a permanent condition or a temporary condition that will last for six weeks or more.  Library staff selects books in original print format, large print, or audio book format, according to the preferences of the homebound library user.

To qualify for the service of delivery, patrons must reside within the Village of Saukville, have a valid library card, meet the terms of the program and qualify for the service by matching the definition of homebound, as defined by the Ozaukee County Department of Social Services. 

Patrons residing outside of the Village of Saukville may still qualify for the Homebound Program; however, the delivery of materials is not applicable.  Patrons, who wish to participate may receive the service available for pickup at the Oscar Grady Public Library by a designated friend or family member, provided they have a library card valid for use within the Eastern Shores Library System and meet the requirements as defined.

The Oscar Grady Public Library now subscribes to the new online database Credo Reference.   Accessible to our patrons remotely from home, this new reference resource contains 485 reference titles combined into one searchable database.  Credo Reference, from the world’s best publishers of information, covers every major documented subject, is very easy to navigate and is extremely addictive!

What will our patrons use our new Credo Reference database to find?  Here are just a few of the reference titles available.  Miller’s Antiques Encyclopedia would be a good resource to determine the value of everything from antique furniture to Pez dispensers.  The Dictionary of Foreign Words and Phrases might help you decipher that old saying your great-grandmother muttered in her native tongue; some of the bilingual dictionaries available are in French, German, Spanish, Latin, Portuguese, Welsh, Polish and Italian; or you might be more interested in translating the language of your teenager –The Dictionary of Contemporary Slang might be useful for that.  Other, more up-to-the-minute information on health, science and technology is available through The Encyclopedia of Women’s Heath, The Atlas of the Universe and The Encyclopedia of Modern Technology. 

You may be interested in The Financial History of the United States in determining how Americans have landed themselves in the current financial and economic situation of today.  The Bloomsbury Biographical Dictionary of Quotations might help you find the opening quotation for your next speech or if you are looking for fun information in popular culture, The Encyclopedia of Urban Legends will give you the facts on those spooky campfire stories.

Credo Reference is now available to everyone with an Eastern Shores Library card and accessible right from the Oscar Grady Public Library web site.
