The library will be closed Monday, Dec. 25, and Tuesday, Dec. 26.
Brainteasers
Every third Wednesday of the month at 3 p.m., this group of puzzle-solvers gets together to go over the answers to the month’s new packet filled with mind-boggling, thought-provoking puzzles and games designed to keep a brain working and problem-solving. Pick up the packet at the front desk and get to work on December’s packet in time for the Dec. 20 meeting.
Mystery Book Club
Mystery Book Club meets on the third Wednesday of each month from 4 to 5 p.m. Fans of all types of mystery/crime/suspense novels are invited to this mysterious club. For the month of December, the Mystery Book Club is reading books by Ngaio Marsh and Linda Faistein.
