As we step into a new era for our local libraries, a host of exciting in-person events and workshops are on the horizon for those with a penchant for intrigue and a love of the literary world, particularly for aficionados of cozy murder mystery books.
Let us whisk you away to the realm of the written word, where the first Monday of each month transforms into a haven for bookworms. Here, readers convene to dive into the chilling depths of a science-themed book or a science fiction tale. Prepare to tackle “The Icepick Surgeon” by Sam Kean, a nefarious journey through the darker side of scientific pursuits. Don’t miss out—secure your copy at the front desk a month in advance and join fellow enthusiasts in the library’s warm embrace to share your thoughts and insights.
For those whose passions extend into the kitchen, nothing beats the timeless art of sourdough baking as led by our local culinary virtuoso.
