So nice, let’s do it twice! Join us Monday from 10:30-12 for a pop-up Sensory Play time all about snow! This is a drop-in program; please stay as long as you want! This is appropriate for ages 5 and under with a caregiver.
Join us for book discussion, February 14, 2023 at 10:30 a.m. when we discuss The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman
In a peaceful retirement village, four unlikely friends meet weekly in the Jigsaw Room to discuss unsolved crimes; together they call themselves the Thursday Murder Club.
When a local developer is found dead with a mysterious photograph left next to the body, the Thursday Murder Club suddenly find themselves in the middle of their first live case.
As the bodies begin to pile up, can our unorthodox but brilliant gang catch the killer, before it’s too late?

Join us Tuesday, January 24, 2023, 10:30 a.m. when we discuss Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham.
Considered by many to be Maugham’s masterpiece, “Of Human Bondage” is the semi-autobiographical tale of Philip Carey, who like Maugham, is orphaned and brought up by his uncle. “Of Human Bondage” is a “bildungsroman” that traces the travels of its main character to Germany, Paris and London while exploring the intellectual, emotional and psychological development of the protagonist and later his destructive relationship with the main female character, Mildred Rogers. Originally published in 1915, “Of Human Bondage” is one the great classics of the English language.
