December 10, 2025 selection The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V.E. Schwab: A Life No One Will Remember. A Story You Will Never Forget. France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever―and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets. Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world. But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name. https://ventresslibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/contemporary-book-group-55/

The Ventress Memorial Library is excited to host the South of Boston Board Game Meetup on Saturday from 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. The group began as an inclusive community of board gamers in the South Shore area and beyond. Their goal is to bring people together to share their love of board games in a welcoming and friendly environment. Come by and play games like Azul: Summer Pavilion, Wingspan, and Bohnanza. Never heard of any of these games? That's okay! New and veteran players welcome. Also, have a game you don't play? Bring a game to swap with other attendees. This free meetup is open to the public. https://ventresslibrary.assabetinteractive.com/meeting-and-study-rooms/south-of-boston-board-game-meetup-5/
