Library Book Group Meeting.  Please join the library staff in a discussion of The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley.  In his wickedly brilliant first novel, Alan Bradley introduces one of the most precocious heroines in recent fiction: eleven-year-old Flavia de Luce, an aspiring chemist with a passion for poison. It is the summer of 1950—and a series of inexplicable events has struck Buckshaw, the decaying English mansion that Flavia’s family calls home.  After a dead bird is found by their door and a dead body in the garden, Flavia sets out to solve the crime. Readers may bring their own copy or place a hold on a library item.  Refreshments will be served.

At 6:30 PM

Social Security and Retirement Income financial program.  An evening of information about the new rules of saving for retirement with Natalie Sowersby, Regional Communications Director, Social Security Administration.  Refreshments will be served.

Wednesday, September 22 from 6 PM to 8 PM
