Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone
by J.K. Rowling
Monday, November 3, 4:00 - 4:45pm
Whether you're reading the Harry Potter books for the first time, or the fifteenth time, if you love the books, this is the club for you! Join us for a book discussion, activities, and treats each month. We'll cover one book each month on the first Monday, except for May. (Please see the full listing on our website.)
We have several copies of each book to loan and all books are also available through the Libby and Hoopla apps. While we love the Harry Potter movies, this club will focus on the books so participants should read each book before each meeting. This club is best for older kids and teens. Come to one discussion or all, but please sign up for each book discussion separately to help us plan for activities and snacks. Funded by the Friends of the Library. Register here.

Walkaway
by Cory Doctorow
Tuesday, November 4 at 6:00pm
In a world wrecked by climate change, in a society owned by the ultra-rich, in a city hollowed out by industrial flight, Hubert, Etc., Seth and Natalie have nowhere else to be and nothing better to do.
But there's another way. Now that anyone can design and print the basic necessities of life – food, clothing, shelter – from a computer, there is little reason to toil within the system. So, like thousands of others in the mid-21st century, the three of them turn their back on the world of rules, jobs, the morning commute and ... walkaway. Register here.

Join Us to Discuss
The Year in Books
Tuesday, November 18, 10:00am
Book lovers are invited to a lively Reader’s Roundtable, a morning dedicated to sharing and discussing what people read this past year. The event will feature a conversation led by Librarian Joyce Davis and Jeanne Snowdon, owner of The Country Bookseller. They'll guide the discussion through this year’s most talked-about titles and reading trends. While the focus will be on on what's new, there's certainly room to discuss other favorites from previous years.
Participants are encouraged to share their favorite (and least favorite) reads, whether fiction or nonfiction, literary or lighthearted. The Roundtable will touch on the genres that captured readers’ imaginations—from buzzy debut novels to powerful memoirs and surprising bestsellers—and explore what makes a book truly memorable. All readers are welcome. Light refreshments will be served.
