Mystery Book Group, second Thursday of every month at 10:30.
Upcoming book group meetings:
May 30, 2019 @ 12pm: Brown Bag Book Group
Feel free to bring your lunch. Dessert and beverages will be served. Love and Other Consolation Prizes by Jamie Ford. For twelve-year-old Ernest Young, a charity student at a boarding school, the chance to go to the World’s Fair feels like a gift. But only once he’s there, does he discover that he is the one who is actually the prize. The half-Chinese orphan is astounded to learn he will be raffled off—a healthy boy “to a good home.”
The winning ticket belongs to the flamboyant madam of a high-class brothel, famous for educating her girls. There, Ernest becomes the new houseboy and befriends Maisie, the madam’s precocious daughter, and a bold scullery maid named Fahn. Their friendship and affection form the first real family Ernest has ever known—and against all odds, this new sporting life gives him the sense of home he’s always desired.

NOTE: Book Club is one week earlier than normal this month. Sorry for any inconvenience.
The Mystery Book Club will be reading A Rule Against Murder by Louise Penny. Copies are available at the circulation desk. Light refreshments will be served. Open to the public.
From GoodReads: "It is the height of summer, and Armand and Reine-Marie Gamache are celebrating their wedding anniversary at Manoir Bellechasse, an isolated, luxurious inn not far from the village of Three Pines. But they're not alone. The Finney family—rich, cultured, and respectable—has also arrived for a celebration of their own."
