Join one (or both) of next week's book clubs!

On Monday, October 26 at 6:30pm, the Weird Book Club will meet to talk about Daniel Kraus' 2026 stunning Pulitzer Prize winning novel, "Angel Down". Described by the New York Times Book Review as "a thunderous gallop of a war novel, a new classic, a best-in-class example of speculative fiction,” this novel plunges readers into the nightmarish battlefields of the First World War. Oh, and, there's an angel on the battlefield that must be saved: that's where the "weird" part comes into play.

On Tuesday, October 27 at 6:30pm, Novel Teas will meet to discuss national bestseller "The Berry Pickers" by Amanda Peters. Described by People Magazine as "a stunning debut about love, race, brutality and the balm of forgiveness," this novel begins with a four-year-old Mi’kmaq girl who suddenly disappears in Maine, leaving a devastated family behind. Years later, an adopted child of privilege named Norma begins to question her memories and visions. Is her family hiding something from her and how can she find out the truth behind these memories?

Both book clubs are open to all adults and include a member of Library staff. Copies of both books are available to borrow at the Library's front desk.

Our Genealogy Club meets this Saturday, October 17 and is open to all who are interested in the topic (no registration necessary). Members will begin the meeting at 11am with "meet and greet" led by the Library's own Cynthia Souza, our resident expert on genealogy research.

At noon, the Club will share an interesting virtual presentation titled, “The 1926 Census of Ireland” with Senia Foster Kirk. The 1926 Census of Ireland was released in April of this year; it is the first census of Ireland since the Civil War and separation of the Irish Free State and Northern Ireland more than 100 years ago. This webinar will discuss the historical events leading up to the 1926 Census, current events when the census was taken, where you can find the records, and how it can help you with your Irish ancestry research.

Kirk is an Accredited Genealogist in Irish research with a foundation in history and classical languages. She holds a Master of Arts in History and a Bachelor of Arts in Classical Languages from Utah State University. She holds a Certificate in Family History Research from BYU-Idaho and is a Research Specialist at Family Search.

If you cannot make this meeting but would like to be added to the email list for future meetings, please contact [email protected] to be added to the Club’s email list
