At the Library for April 10th, 2018

Updated 2018/04/09

“When she died in April, 2016, Los Angeles writer Michelle McNamara left behind a devoted husband, a young daughter, and an obsession.” So reads the back copy of McNamara’s “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark”—a book about her lifelong interest into the unsolved Golden State Killer murders (60 victims). The book was compiled from her work by her husband, comedian Patton Oswald.

Summer’s over and Sunny must enter the unfamiliar halls of middle school in Jennifer L. Holm’s hilarious ‘Swing It, Sunny.’

Preschool Story Time is this Wednesday at 11:00 am, 1:15 pm, & 6:30 pm, and Toddler Story Time is 10:00 and 11:00 am. Both will be all about “rainbows”. Baby Laptime Thursday at 10 am.

Please note there is always a Wednesday evening Story Time at 6:30 pm for ages 3 to 9 and their caregivers. Perfect way to unwind.

The Friends Garage Sale is coming. What could be more fun! It will be held on Sat. April 28th from 9 am to 3 pm in the Manual Training School adjacent to the Library. Come to the sale and find those hidden treasures!
