Adults in their twenties and thirties are invited to join us for a bi-monthly book club to discuss that month's book club pick and enjoy charcuterie treats.May's Pick: Finlay Donovan is Killing It by Elle CosimanoTo borrow a copy, please inquire at the library's front desk.Finlay Donovan is Killing It:Finlay Donovan is killing it . . . except, sheâs really not. Sheâs a stressed-out single-mom of two and struggling novelist, Finlayâs life is in chaos: the new book she promised her literary agent isnât written, her ex-husband fired the nanny without telling her, and this morning she had to send her four-year-old to school with hair duct-taped to her head after an incident with scissors. When Finlay is overheard discussing the plot of her new suspense novel with her agent over lunch, sheâs mistaken for a contract killer, and inadvertently accepts an offer to dispose of a problem husband in order to make ends meet . . . Soon, Finlay discovers that crime in real life is a lot more difficult than its fictional counterpart, as she becomes tangled in a real-life murder investigation. Fast-paced, deliciously witty, and wholeheartedly authentic in depicting the frustrations and triumphs of motherhood in all its messiness, hilarity, and heartfelt moments.

We welcome you to register for a thrilling conversation with Rebecca F. Kuang (R.F. Kuang) as she chats with us about her New York Times bestselling novel, Yellowface. Yellowface grapples with questions of diversity, racism, and cultural appropriation, as well as the terrifying alienation of social media.In Yellowface, Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars. But Athenaâs a literary darling. June Hayward is literally nobody. Who wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks.So when June witnesses Athenaâs death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athenaâs just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I.So what if June edits Athenaâs novel and sends it to her agent as her own work? So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Songâcomplete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo? Doesnât this piece of history deserve to be told, whoever the teller? Thatâs what June claims, and the New York Times bestseller list seems to agree.But June canât get away from Athenaâs shadow, and emerging evidence threatens to bring Juneâs (stolen) success down around her. As June races to protect her secret, she discovers exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves.White lies, dark humor, and deadly consequences await within the pages of Yellowface. With its totally immersive first-person voice, Kuangâs novel is timely, razor-sharp, and eminently readable.Please click here to register for this virtual author talk.

Come witness the lifecycle of the PAINTED LADY BUTTERFLY. We will have live caterpillars in a specially designed habitat where we can watch them change right before your very own eyes (if you happen to be lucky) and eventually turn into beautiful butterflies. On May 22nd, we will have a short presentation about what to expect in the next few weeks as the caterpillars develop. Children must register because we want them to receive an activity diary to record their observations. You are also welcome to bring your camera and take photos when visiting as new stages appear. The growing cycle will last approximately 3-4 weeks. Visit the library as often as you would like. When major changes do occur, we will announce them on Facebook because we don't expect everyone to visit every day. This is a wonderful learning opportunity for all.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) lived only a brief 35 years, yet during this time he was destined to experience great professional acclaim as well as deep personal loss. His story, life, and music have become legend, enriching the lives of countless generations. To many musical historians he has been presented as a simple-minded child possessed of a miraculous musical gift, but the truth is much more complicated and exciting. Come meet Mozart through excerpts of his personal letters and his music as we discover not only the âman behind the mythâ, but also the genius who still brings musical joy to the world!
