Join us for a book club discussion of Paula McClain's The Paris Wife, a deeply evocative story of ambition and betrayal.

The Paris Wife captures a remarkable period of time and love affair between two unforgettable people: Ernest Hemingway and his wife Hadley.

The book club is Tuesday, May 29 at 6:30 p.m. Join us for refreshments and stimulating conversation.

Mother Goose made an appearance at Lamond-Riggs Library on May 2 during the ever-popular toddler story time, which takes place every Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. Rhymes, like music, facilitate the development of a child’s phonological awareness. What better way to start developing reading readiness skills than with Mother Goose nursery rhymes?

May 1 was designated as Mother Goose Day in 1987 by Gloria T. Delamar in tandem with the publication of her book, Mother Goose: From Nursery to Literature. The day is now listed in many calendars of events and celebrated throughout the United States.

There are two ways of looking at this book. The first is to see it for was it is: a collection of predictions about the future of human life some 100 years into the future. The second is to see it for what it isn’t – or better yet, what it fails to address: the dark side of future technology.
