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 Moby Dick by Herman Melville. This month we will be discussing chapters 100-135.

Stop by Riverton Library for a copy of the book while supplies last. The group will meet on December 15th from 6:30 to 7:30 pm!

This program is presented by library staff.

Chapter Chat is a read-together group for folks 17 and older with intellectual disabilities. The group meets every week to read a novel together.

At the event, we will take turns reading aloud from the book. You can read aloud as much or as little as you like, or you can just listen! This is not a reading instruction class: we read together to socialize and share the experience of reading a good book.

This group is limited to ten participants. Registration is required.
