Join us Thursday, January 26th @ 5:30pm at the library to discuss the novel that inspired a boom in retellings and reimaginings of mythology from the perspective of the women, Circe by Madeline Miller. Books are available for pick up now to allow for extended reading time due to the holidays. While supplies last!
While the adults enjoy their book discussion about Circe by Madeline Miller, children are welcome to gather in the children's room for a special story time. We'll be reading The Adventures of Odysseus written by Sonia Elisabetta Corvaglia, illustrated by Anna Láng.
