Book Club is back! All readers are invited to Marty Kaback’s book club at 5:30 pm on Thursday, January 13, to discuss A Conspiracy of Bones by Kathy Reichs. “It’s sweltering in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Temperance Brennan, still recovering from neurosurgery following an aneurysm, is battling nightmares, migraines, and what she thinks might be hallucinations when she receives a series of mysterious text messages, each containing a new picture of a corpse that is missing its face and hands... An identified corpse soon turns up, only partly answering her questions.

Janet Amid is returning to SPL! From 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm on Tuesday, January 11, Toledo’s favorite astrologer will talk to us about astrology, dreams, and her own predictions for 2022. Five audience members will also receive a ‘mini astrological profile’; birthdays and time of birth are needed for these! This program is free, but registration is required.

Cardmaking returns! Teacher Anna Geis will be here to show participants how to make three different cards, all with a Valentine’s Day theme. Class fee is $7/person for three cards; all supplies are provided. This class is scheduled for Thursday, January 20 at 5:00 pm. To participate, call, stop in, or register through our website. Please note that your final result may differ from examples.

Marty’s Book Club: Readers meet at 5:30 pm on Thursday, December 9, to discuss Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century by Jessica Bruder. “Employers have discovered a new, low-cost labor pool, made up largely of transient older adults. These invisible casualties of the Great Recession have taken to the road by the tens of thousands in RVs and modified vans, forming a growing community of nomads… Bruder hits the road to get to know her subjects more intimately,” (Nomadland, 2017). Copies available at the desk.
