While undergoing renovations, O’Neal Library will be holding Books & Beyond at the Levite JCC! All Levite JCC members and non-members are invited to join. More about Books & Beyond:
In Books & Beyond (BAB), we talk about topics rather than all reading one book and following discussion questions. Pick any book, audiobook, or movie that you’d like to try, within the topic, and come tell us about it!
If you have a hard time choosing, there is always a selection on the library’s Shelf Care webpage (click here to visit). BAB meets hybridly, with Zoom available if needed. The Zoom meeting will open at 6:20pm. If no one has joined the Zoom by 6:45, the meeting will be closed at that time to avoid distraction during the meeting. BAB meets the last Tuesday of each month* at 6:30pm. (*unless otherwise noted)

Pre-order your Slice pizza!

Rain policy: If the event is canceled due to weather, all pre-ordered pizzas must be picked by the front door under the portico 5:30–6 p.m. While refunds will not be issued, we will honor all pre-orders for pickup.
General pizza pickup: Pre-ordered pizzas must be picked up by the pool on the Thursday for which they’ve been ordered. Any pizzas not picked up by 7 p.m. will be given away and cannot be held for later pickup.

We’re emphasizing affordability this season by offering food for sale at cost, including a single slice of delicious pizza from our partner Slice Pizza & Brew, a soft drink, watermelon, and chips — all for less than $5. Also new this year, we will offer whole pizzas for pre-sale. Families can reserve their pizzas ahead of time and skip the hassle of figuring out dinner before heading to the pool. Read more…
