Orla’s first visit to the Library was in November and she was so excited with
all the readers that she and Kate are coming back on December 20th!
Reading appointments are for 10 minutes and are by registration only. This is
such a great opportunity for children to practice reading aloud with a sweet
furry face listening and no corrections!
Kate and Orla are registered through Pet Partners and are certified to visit
us. We can’t wait to PAWS for reading again!
DECEMBER ADULT BOOK DISCUSSIONS: We have two adult book discussions
this month and you are invited to attend either or both. Copies of the books
are available for checkout at the main circulation desk.
EVENING: On the 19th at 6 PM we will be discussing Second Glance
by Jodi Picoult. This novel is an intricate tale of love, haunting memories,
and renewal. Second
Glance begins in current-day Vermont, where an old man puts a piece
of land up for sale and unintentionally raises protest from the local Abenaki
Indian tribe, who insist it’s a burial ground. When odd, supernatural events
plague the town of Comtosook, a ghost hunter is hired by the developer to help
convince the residents that there’s nothing spiritual about the property.
MORNING: On the 27th at 10:15 AM we will be discussing Last Call
at the Nightingale.
First in a captivating Jazz Age mystery series from author Katharine Schellman,
Last Call at the Nightingale beckons
readers into a darkly glamorous speakeasy where music, liquor, and secrets flow
in 1924 New York. Vivian Kelly's days are filled with drudgery, from the
tenement lodging she shares with her sister to the dress shop where she sews
for hours every day. But at night, she escapes to The Nightingale…
