This book discussion features the hottest titles you'll be talking about all year!  Adults 18+. -- Hot dogs. Poor people created them. Rich people found a way to charge fifteen dollars for them. They’re high culture, they’re low culture, they’re sports food, they’re kids' food, they’re hangover food, and they’re deeply American, despite having no basis whatsoever in America's Indigenous traditions. You can love them, you can hate them, but you can’t avoid the great American hot dog. Raw Dog: The Naked Truth About Hot Dogs is part investigation into the cultural and culinary significance of hot dogs and part travelog documenting a cross-country road trip researching them as they’re served today. From avocado and spice in the West to chili in the East to an entire salad on a slice of meat in Chicago, Comedian Jamie Loftus, her pets, and her ex eat their way across the country during the strange summer of 2021, and reveal what the creation, culture, and class influence of hot dogs says about America now.

Come join our thriller/suspense book club. Our book for May is Recursion by Blake Crouch. --- Reality is broken. At first, it looks like a disease. An epidemic that spreads through no known means, driving its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived. But the force that’s sweeping the world is no pathogen. It’s just the first shock wave, unleashed by a stunning discovery—and what’s in jeopardy is not our minds but the very fabric of time itself. In New York City, Detective Barry Sutton is closing in on the truth—and in a remote laboratory, neuroscientist Helena Smith is unaware that she alone holds the key to this mystery . . . and the tools for fighting back. Together, Barry and Helena will have to confront their enemy—before they, and the world, are trapped in a loop of ever-growing chaos. Copies of the book will be reserved and available at the library and electronic versions can be found on Hoopla or Libby. Registration for this event is encouraged but not required.

Your cell phone can now do it all and photographer Linda Madden will show you how! --- Be inspired to go beyond a “quick snap of the shutter” and an instant post to social media. Learn how to find unique photo opportunities, explore the use of the equipment options for cell phones and, finally, how to turn those images into works of art! This presentation will introduce participants to basic photography principles that should be applied when capturing any image, whether using a Cell Phone or DSLR camera, and tips for creating prints using post processing apps that, then, can be printed directly from your phone. Your cell phone can be your “one- stop shop” to amazing images! After initial set up and practice time with the recommended apps, your viewers should never be able to question… “was that taken with a DSLR camera or a cell phone?” You, the photographer, can be so proud of your images that you will have no need to say, ” It’s Just a Cell Phone Image” again!
