Are you eager to get started with your summer? The library has adventures for all ages right around the corner! From perennial favorites like our “Fayette Field Trips” and “Discovery Camp” with Fayette Soil & Water, to new and exciting programs with “Ironwood Wolves” and “Freddy Fossil’s Dino Show.” There is something for everyone. All events, as always, are free of charge unless otherwise noted. Check out the library’s website at www.cplwcho.org for the event calendar and more. These quality, educational and fun programs are made possible by community donations and grants. Join us!

The Carnegie Book Club will meet on Thursday, May 17 at 5 p.m. to discuss The Alienist by Caleb Carr. From goodreads.com: “This modern classic continues to be a touchstone of historical suspense fiction for readers everywhere. The year is 1896. The city is New York. Newspaper reporter John Schuyler Moore is summoned by his friend Dr. Laszlo Kreizler—a psychologist, or “alienist”—to view the horribly mutilated body of an adolescent boy abandoned on the unfinished Williamsburg Bridge. From there the two embark on a revolutionary effort in criminology: creating a psychological profile of the perpetrator based on the details of his crimes. Their dangerous quest takes them into the tortured past and twisted mind of a murderer who will kill again before their hunt is over.” A fast-paced novel of suspense, fans of the series and book are welcome to join us for discussion!

Feeling crafty? Saturday, May 19 at 10 a.m., Peggy Sosack will lead a group in making a “Swedish Star!” This paper craft is lovely and simple to make. Please stop by the circulation desk upstairs or call the library to register! All supplies will be provided.
