About Emily Terifay

Hi! My name is Emily Terifay. I am a current student at Clarion University and studying to become a Librarian. I love books and reading, my favorite genres are fantasy and sci-fi. I also have a mini library at my house and I add more books to it at least every two months. I also have two guinea pigs, Timothy and Lemon who are adorable, if not a little annoying at times.

The Very Long Book Group

Ready to get involved with a book long-term? Join us as we tackle 500+ pagers together, in real life-compatible installments of a couple hundred pages at a time. We are currently reading The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton. This month we will be discussing pages 1-256. Stop by Riverton Library for a copy of the book while supplies last.

Parenting and Paperbacks

Want to chat with other parents about the parenting book you just read? Are you looking for a place to discuss the joys and difficulties of raising kids? Join us for Parenting and Paperbacks!

We will be talking about a specific topic, and you are invited to read a book (or two) and come ready to add to the conversation. If you don’t have the opportunity to read a book, come for the discussion anyway!

Books on this topic include Raising Good Humans; The 5 Principles of Parenting; Family Values: Reset Trust, Boundaries and Communication with Your Child; The Me, Me, Me Epidemic; Mamaleh Knows Best; Strong and Kind; The Religions Book; Talk with Your Kids: 109 Conversations about Ethics and Things that Really Matter; How to Be Perfect: The Correct Answer to Every Moral Question; Beyond: How Humankind Thinks about Heaven; Hope for Cynics; A Faith Like Mine; Raising Freethinkers; A Kids Book about God; Fourteen Talks by Age Fourteen; How to Raise an Antiracist; What Do You Believe?
