Read about the magical, mystical, strange, and paranormal with other fantasy & science fiction lovers! Copies of each selection are available at the Circulation Desk approximately one month before the meeting. The Fantastical Fiction Book Club meets on the third Wednesday of every month at 6:00 PM. We welcome all new members! Subscribe to the "Fantastical Fiction Book Club" e-newsletter to receive book club reminders and updates. If you're unable to attend this meeting in person, we're happy to offer a hybrid meeting option! Contact the library at [email protected] or 508-238-2000, ext. 3 and we will provide a Zoom link. Please note that we require at least 24 hours notice. This month’s selection is: A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers. “It's been centuries since the robots of Panga gained self-awareness and laid down their tools; centuries since they wandered, en masse, into the wilderness, never to be seen again; centuries since they faded into myth and urban legend. One day, the life of a tea monk is upended by the arrival of a robot, there to honor the old promise of checking in. The robot cannot go back until the question of "what do people need?" is answered. But the answer to that question depends on who you ask, and how. They're going to need to ask it a lot.” https://amesfreelibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/fantastical-fiction-book-club-12/

We welcome all new members! Subscribe to the "Mystery Book Club" e-newsletter to receive book club reminders, updates, and meeting invitations. *Note: this month's meeting will take place a week early due to the holiday.* This month’s selection is: The River We Remember by William Kent Krueger "On Memorial Day in Jewel, Minnesota, the body of wealthy landowner Jimmy Quinn is found floating in the Alabaster River, dead from a shotgun blast. The investigation falls to Sheriff Brody Dern, a highly decorated war hero who still carries the physical and emotional scars from his military service. Even before Dern has the results of the autopsy, vicious rumors begin to circulate that the killer must be Noah Bluestone, a Native American WWII veteran who has recently returned to Jewel with a Japanese wife. As suspicions and accusations mount and the town teeters on the edge of more violence, Dern struggles not only to find the truth of Quinn's murder but also put to rest the demons from his own past. Caught up in the torrent of anger that sweeps through Jewel are a war widow and her adolescent son, the intrepid publisher of the local newspaper, an aging deputy, and a crusading female lawyer, all of whom struggle with their own tragic histories and harbor secrets that Quinn's death threatens to expose." https://amesfreelibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/mystery-book-club-12/
