Mystery Book Club

Mystery Book Club meets on the third Wednesday of each month from 4 to 5 p.m. at the Bella Vista Library to read books from some of the best mystery authors. Fans of all types of mystery/crime/suspense novels are invited to this mysterious club. In August the club is reading books by Elizabeth Duncan.

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 your brain working and problem-solving. Pick up the packet at the front desk and get to work on this month’s puzzles.

Floating down Moon River

Musician Kristi Peterson will be here at 6 p.m. Monday, Aug. 26, to discuss Johnny Mercer. Johnny Mercer wrote the lyrics to over 1,400 songs in his life, was a successful recording artist and a household name in the 1940s, plus the president and co-founder of Capitol Records. Mercer had at least one song in the Top 10 for 221 weeks straight, and many weeks many more than that. He is considered by many to be the greatest lyricist of all time, and his story cannot be easily forgotten.
