Pack your bags for a summer journey shaped by family secrets, long-buried history, and charming men with Irish accents.

Maeve and Therese Dunigan haven’t spoken in years. Raised under the same roof in Savannah, the two sisters could not be more opposite; Maeve the rule follower, Therese the unapologetic rebel. But when their mother’s death pulls them back together, they inherit more than just grief: a mysterious painting that may be worth millions…if it’s real.

Determined to uncover the truth, and desperately in need of the money, the sisters set out on a journey to Ireland, tracing their family’s roots and the origins of the portrait. What begins as a search for answers soon becomes something deeper, a reckoning with the past, as they uncover secrets that span generations and reshape everything they thought they knew about their family.

With tensions simmering, the two hit the road and find themselves on twisty lanes, in colorful villages, at local pubs, and with handsome men whose gift of the gab is surpassed only by their charm.

Can Maeve and Therese actually survive the journey without killing each other? Join Mary Kay Andrews on a road trip that will entertain you for miles.

**KID'S LEGO CLUB IS RETURNING ON 12 SEPTEMBER**

Children ages 5 and older are invited to participate in the Kid’s LEGO® Club, held the first Saturday of select months from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at the Eglin Library. Registration IS required and is “first come, first served” with a waiting list; notice of cancellation is requested. Slots are available for 20 children.

2026 Registrations:

Sept – https://eglin-af.libcal.com/calendar/22129/kidslegoclubsept

Oct – https://eglin-af.libcal.com/calendar/22129/kidslegocluboct

Nov – https://eglin-af.libcal.com/calendar/22129/kidslegoclubnov

Children will be welcomed to the LEGO® Club with a new theme each month and challenged to build their creation over the course of one hour. After the build hour and a short time of clean-up, each child will have an opportunity to share their creation with the group, talk about it, and take photos. Then everyone’s LEGO® builds will be placed on display in the Library for the entire month!

The Club’s start time will be prompt to allow for maximum build time. So, families are encouraged to arrive a few minutes before 10 a.m. Parents/guardians must remain with their child(ren) for the duration of the program and may be asked to lend assistance when needed.

**BOOK BUDDIES ALERT**

All families of all sizes are invited to Book Buddies Story Time, every Wednesday morning from 10:00 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. at the Eglin Community Library! Children and parents from the Eglin community are welcome to enjoy stories, singing, dancing, crafting, and all the fun of being together! Participation is FREE and no registration is required.

Story time is essential for early learners especially, as it helps to introduce new words, sentence structures, and modes of communication, while also helping students to engage with new perspectives and practice socialization skills.

Parents or guardians must remain in the facility and are asked to please supervise their children for the duration of the program (approximately 45 minutes).

Attention, All Parents & Caregivers - - - Your Eglin Community Library invites you and your child to participate in an amazing FREE reading program: 1000 Books Before Kindergarten! This nationwide program (abbreviated “1KBBK”) encourages you to read 1,000 books with your child before he or she begins kindergarten. Studies have shown that reading together creates an opportunity to bond with your child while also promoting the joy of reading to newborns, infants, and toddlers.

Once enrolled in the program through Beanstack.org, your child will receive a 1KBBK goodie bag and have their first name and picture added to the Eglin Library’s interactive display. At each milestone (every 100 books read to your child), the Library will present the child with a prize. Once your child reaches the final milestone of 1,000 books, great accolades, a certificate, and grand prize are awarded!

The AI Paradox, by Virginia Dignum, is a guide to seeing complexity with clarity, questioning the seemingly inevitable, and using AI in ways that prioritize our collective values. Each paradox explored in this book illuminates a particular dimension of these emerging technologies while prompting us to reevaluate our most common preconceptions about them. Can they truly replicate human decision making or do they simply magnify our blind spots and biases? Is AI the ultimate problem-solving tool or does it introduce more problems? Is justice for all achievable when it comes to AI? Who does AI serve, big tech or the common good? How do we even define AI?
