REGISTER FOR ZOOM HERE.  Zoom from home or come to the library and be part of our live audience while we show this program on our big screen!  Author Michelle Collins Anderson will discuss her new historical novel, The Flower Sisters. Drawing on the little-known true story of one tragic night at an Ozarks dance hall in the author’s Missouri hometown, this beautifully written, endearingly nostalgic novel picks up 50 years later for a folksy, character-driven portrayal of small-town life, split second decisions, and the ways family secrets reverberate through generations. Anderson grew up on a farm in the Missouri Ozarks — a place and a way of life that has shaped her writing. A graduate of the University of Missouri with a MFA from Warren Wilson College, she previously worked in advertising and public relations, taught elementary school creative writing, and was an adjunct professor at the University of Missouri and Stephens College.  Thank you to Tewksbury, Chelmsford, and Groton's libraries for partnering with us!  https://langleyadamslib.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/the-f-lower-sisters/

Register here for Zoom! Audiences worldwide recognize Sherlock Holmes as the archetypal founding father of all great (white) fictional detectives. What they don't know is that, almost from his very inception, there has been an important yet mostly unknown counter tradition of Black American Sherlock Holmes characters reaching back as far as 1903. Join perennial favorite presenter Dr. Ann McClellan for a fascinating”and sometimes troubling”media history of Black Sherlock Holmes adaptations across genres as wide-ranging as Broadway musicals and silent film to American jazz, graphic novels, dystopian fiction, and fan fiction. https://langleyadamslib.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/virtual-the-holmes-you-never-knew-black-american-adaptations-then-now/

Kate Quinn’s The Rose Code meets Mr. and Mrs. Smith in this intrigue-filled debut, as two former spies who shared more than just missions during WWII reunite in 1948 Los Angeles. Can they let go of heartbreak long enough to team up for one last operation in this tightly-plotted, emotionally rich postwar mystery? Steinberg is the author of the Bishop & Gallagher Mysteries, as well as a film and television writer who’s worked on Malcolm in the Middle, Everwood, Cold Case, Bionic Woman, and Spartacus.
