U.S. Savings Bonds - The Fine Print
Tuesday, June 17 @ 1 pm Are your savings bonds still earning interest? Over $15 billion in savings bonds have reached fin al maturity and are no longer earning interest. Additionally, interest on savings bonds must be claimed on your income tax return when the bond reaches final maturity, even if you don’t redeem the bond at that time. Bond “guru” Ron Cayce will answer your questions about bonds, help you determine what your bonds are worth, and explain how you can avoid losing money and paying excess taxes on your bonds. Register at the Adult Reference Desk or call 313-531-5960 ext. 103.

Redford Recreational Readers
If you're a reader who would like an opportunity to discuss books with others, join the Redford Recreational Readers, our new book discussion group for adults. We will be meeting the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 7 pm, in one of the 2nd floor meeting rooms. Each month you'll have an opportunity to meet fellow book lovers, share in group discussion of a selected book and suggest titles for future discussions.
Registration is not required, but the library has limited copies of each book. If you sign up in advance at the Adult Reference Desk, we'll make every effort to obtain a copy for you from another library.
Our current book discussion titles:
July 9 Loving Frank by Nancy Horan [also available in Large Print] In 1903, an attraction developed between Mamah Borthwick Cheney and the renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright. In time the clandestine lovers, each married with children, embarked on a course that would shock Chicago society and forever change their lives. In this groundbreaking historical novel, fact and fiction blend together brilliantly. Horan gives full weight to their dramatic love story and illuminates Cheney's profound influence on Wright.
August 13 Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert [also available in Paperback and Book on CD] A celebrated writer pens an irresistible, candid and eloquent account of her pursuit of worldly pleasure, spiritual devotion and what she really wanted out of life.
