Read about the weird and wondrous with other book dragons like you! Copies of each fantasy title are available at the Circulation Desk roughly one month before the meeting. Fly by the library and borrow December's book to add it to your hoard. The Bookwyrms Book Club meets on the third Monday of every month at 4:00 PM (*except where noted). We welcome all kids between the ages of 9 and 12! Enjoy a themed snack while you share your thoughts! This month’s selection is: The Girl Who Speaks Bear by Sophie Anderson "They call me Yanka the Bear. Not because of where I was found. Only a few people know about that. They call me Yanka the Bear because I am so big and strong." Discovered in a bear cave as a baby, 12-year-old Yanka dreams of knowing who she really is. Although Yanka is happy at home with her loving foster mother, she feels out of place in the village where the other children mock her for her unusual size and strength. So when Yanka wakes up one morning to find her legs have become bear legs, she knows she has no choice but to leave her village. She has to find somewhere she truly belongs, so she ventures into the Snow Forest with her pet weasel, Mousetrap, in search of the truth about her past. But deep in the forest there are many dangers and Yanka discovers that even the most fantastic stories she grew up hearing are true. And just as she draws close to discovering who she really is, something terrifying happens that could trap her in the forest . . . forever." https://amesfreelibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/bookwyrms-book-club-tbd-4/

Please note that we require at least 24 hours notice. This month’s selection is: A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers. “It's been centuries since the robots of Panga gained self-awareness and laid down their tools; centuries since they wandered, en masse, into the wilderness, never to be seen again; centuries since they faded into myth and urban legend. One day, the life of a tea monk is upended by the arrival of a robot, there to honor the old promise of checking in. The robot cannot go back until the question of "what do people need?" is answered. But the answer to that question depends on who you ask, and how. They're going to need to ask it a lot.” https://amesfreelibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/fantastical-fiction-book-club-12/

We welcome all new members! Subscribe to the "Mystery Book Club" e-newsletter to receive book club reminders, updates, and meeting invitations. *Note: this month's meeting will take place a week early due to the holiday.* This month’s selection is: The River We Remember by William Kent Krueger "On Memorial Day in Jewel, Minnesota, the body of wealthy landowner Jimmy Quinn is found floating in the Alabaster River, dead from a shotgun blast. The investigation falls to Sheriff Brody Dern, a highly decorated war hero who still carries the physical and emotional scars from his military service. Even before Dern has the results of the autopsy, vicious rumors begin to circulate that the killer must be Noah Bluestone, a Native American WWII veteran who has recently returned to Jewel with a Japanese wife. As suspicions and accusations mount and the town teeters on the edge of more violence, Dern struggles not only to find the truth of Quinn's murder but also put to rest the demons from his own past. Caught up in the torrent of anger that sweeps through Jewel are a war widow and her adolescent son, the intrepid publisher of the local newspaper, an aging deputy, and a crusading female lawyer, all of whom struggle with their own tragic histories and harbor secrets that Quinn's death threatens to expose." https://amesfreelibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/mystery-book-club-12/
