Rec Center Readers Book Club: 'The Book Thief' by Markus Zusak

The Rec Center Readers Book Club  is reading “The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak. You can borrow this book from Livonia libraries and then come talk about the book 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 29, at the Kirksey Recreation Center. There is a $3 fee for residents and $5 for non-residents, and this event is free to members. Find this meeting on Facebook or register online!

"The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak is a gripping and emotional tale set in Nazi Germany, narrated by Death itself. It follows the story of Liesel Meminger, a young girl who finds solace in stealing books, even as the world around her is torn apart by war. Through her love of reading and the relationships she forms with her foster family, friends, and a Jewish man hiding in their basement, Liesel learns about the power of words and stories to both destroy and heal. This unforgettable novel explores themes of resilience, friendship, and the profound impact of literature on the soul.

Livonia Parks and Recreation Youth Scholarships 2025

The Livonia Parks and Recreation Department is proud to offer Livonia youth, ages 17 and younger, a scholarship program to make recreation programs and activities affordable for as many youths as possible, and we are now accepting applications for 2025. Fill out and return the application to the Kirksey Recreation Center as soon as possible so your child can utilize this fantastic resource!

The scholarship, funded by Trinity Health Livonia through the Healthy Livonia initiative, is designed to assist Livonia families financially by subsidizing the cost of Parks and Recreation programs up to a maximum of $300 per child, per year; on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Youth Scholarship will cover 85% of the program fee and the parent/guardian will be responsible for 15% of the fee per approved program. Funds are available based on donations and sponsorship of the program. This scholarship is another example of community partners breaking down barriers to youth participation in exercise, enrichment, and activities.
