Cleveland Park
Neighborhood Library

On Feb. 7, join us to discuss The Boy in the Suitcase by Danish authors Lene Kaaberbol and Agnete Friis.

Sent to retrieve a suitcase from a public locker in the Copenhagen train station, Nina Borg, a Red Cross nurse, wife and mother who is a compulsive do-gooder, finds a surprise inside the suitcase: a 3-year-old boy, drugged, but alive. In an increasingly desperate trek across Denmark, Nina tries to figure out who the boy is, where he belongs and who exactly is trying to hunt him down.

So for the holidays you got a Kindle. Now what?

For the post–holiday season, Cleveland Park Library will set aside three hours, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., every Wednesday from Jan. 16 to Feb. 27, to answer your questions.

Need to know how to set up your new e-reader? We can help you with that. Have questions about Overdrive, the library’s e-book lending site? We can help you with that too. Just be sure to bring in your device when you come to the library!

Have you ever read a large print book?  Whether you need the larger print, or whether it would just give your eyes a rest, try a large print book.  Your eyes will thank you. 

The library owns some books only in large print. Especially in mystery and romance, you may find titles by favorite authors that are not available in another edition. 

Brush up on Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, Dr. Who episodes, and watch BBC One's Sherlock to get ready for the Jan. 3 discussion of the television series with guest Lloyd Rose. Her encyclopedic knowledge of Dr. Who, combined with her enthusiasm for the original Sherlock Holmes character, will inspire even more enthusiasm for the new interpretation of the world's best known detective. 

The Cleveland Park Mystery Book Club meets on the first Thursday of the month, at 6:30 p.m., at Barnes & Noble, 12th and E streets, NW.
