The Mystery Book Club meets on the first Tuesday of the month at 6:00 pm in the library. This month, the group will be meeting in the history room. May's selection is Still Life by Louise Penny.


The discovery of a dead body in the woods on Thanksgiving Weekend brings Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and his colleagues from the Surete du Quebec to a small village in the Eastern Townships. Gamache cannot understand why anyone would want to deliberately kill well-loved artist Jane Neal, especially any of the residents of Three Pines - a place so free from crime it doesn't even have its own police force. But Gamache knows that evil is lurking somewhere behind the white picket fences and that, if he watches closely enough, Three Pines will start to give up its dark secrets...

June Introverts Book Club: They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera

A monthly opportunity to read the same books as others in the community without the added obligation to meet and discuss the book. Just check it out and return it like you would with any other inter-library loan book!


They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera: On September 5, a little after midnight, Death-Cast calls Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio to give them some bad news: They're going to die today. Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for different reasons, they're both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. The good news: There's an app for that. Its called the Last Friend, and through it, Rufus and Mateo are about to meet up for one last great adventure: to live a lifetime in a single day.
