Pub Quiz June 10 at 7pm
Our Kickoff Day will end with a Pub Quiz Night in the Library. Pub Quizzes are popular trivia contests in the UK, and while we won’t be serving up alcohol, we will serve up a night of fun and tricky trivia around our theme “Adventure Begins in Your Library." Bring your own team or meet new people by joining one that night. Sign up begins June 3 for this event.
Tuesday June 18 at 7pm - It’s a Mystery!: Mystery/Thriller Book Club
In honor of the Summer Reading Club theme, we will be discussing the adventure filled thriller: Freefall by Jessica Barry
When her fiancé’s private plane crashes in the Colorado Rockies, everyone assumes Allison Carpenter is dead, except Maggie, Allison’s estranged mother. As Allison struggles across the treacherous mountain wilderness, Maggie embarks on a desperate search for answers.
Tuesday June 25th at 1:30 pm
Join us for a discussion of the book Life on the Mississippi: An Epic American Adventure by Rinker Buck. An enchanting blend of history and adventure in which Buck builds a wooden flatboat based on those from the grand “flatboat era” of the 1800s and sails it down the Mississippi River. This nonfiction book illuminates the forgotten past of America’s first western frontier as well as telling the story of one man’s adventure.
We look forward to seeing you this summer and remember, adventure really does begin at your library.
*A full list of events and rules for participating in the program will be available online or in the registration folder.
