Event Details
This month we are tying into our community St. Johns Reads events by building Bug Hotels! All species are important and that includes the creepy, crawlies, flying, jumping critters that we find in our neighborhoods. Let us provide them with a nice habitat.
In early 2020, library programmers went virtual and created all kinds of helpful and entertaining videos for our communities. One of them was Build A Bug Hotel with Ms. Monica SJCPLS Online Event: Building a Bug Hotel with Ms. Monica--9/24/2020.
We are pleased to announce that our book selection for St. Johns Reads 2026 is "An Immense World" by Ed Yong!
In An Immense World, Pulitzer Prize-winning science writer Ed Yong takes us beyond the limits of human perception to explore how animals experience the world through senses both familiar and strange, from echolocation and ultraviolet vision to magnetic and electric fields. With vivid storytelling and infectious curiosity, Yong reveals that our reality is just a narrow slice of a much larger, richer sensory world teeming all around us.
An Immense World is available in both Adult and Young Adult editions in print, as well as in e-book and e-audiobook formats on Libby.
In its 22nd year, St. Johns Reads is the St. Johns County Public Library System's annual "One Book, One Community" event focused on creating a shared conversation on a selected novel. St. Johns Reads is proudly supported by the Friends of the Library groups. We can't wait for January 2026, when we'll all come together for this special community event!
