*** Phoenixville Public Library will host an evening with local author, Kathleen McKee, on Monday, March 29, at 7:00 PM. Join us as Mark Pinto, the Library’s Adult Services, Director, engages Kathleen in conversation about her latest novel, Below the Landscape. A tragic accident, an unknown artist, and a discovery below the landscape. Can Sue connect the random details before her granddaughter becomes another victim? If you enjoy a cozy mystery, small town charm, a touch of romance, and a woman sleuth who has an uncanny ability to make connections, you’ll love Kathleen McKee’s fourth book of the “Aspen Notch Mystery Series”. Join Sue for her latest adventure in Below the Landscape. Kathleen McKee enjoys crafting stories that are uplifting and moving. Regardless of genre, she likes to include a touch of romance, mystery, and history, with narratives that bring the characters to life. Kathleen’s heart-warming stories and their settings are often inspired by experiences of people she has met or places she has lived. Although Aspen Notch is a fictional town in northeast PA, it is based on her memories of the locale when she taught in Scranton, PA. Kathleen currently lives in southeast PA with her springer spaniel, Maggie. You’ll find her there, working on her next novel. Visit her website at: https://kathleen-mckee. com. This event is free and open to the public and will take place online/by phone via Zoom. Registration is required at https://ccls.libcal.com/calendar/Phoenixville/kathleen-mckee or by calling 610-933-3013 x132. Email mpinto@ccls.org for more information.

Four-year-old Sophie Amundsen arrives home to find two notes in her mailbox—each with one question: “Who are you?’ and “Where does the world come from?’ Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is HIlde? Why is her mail turning up? Unraveling this riddle, Sophie uses the philosophy she learns and finds the truth unimaginably complicated. A phys
