Join Christine on February 22 at 2:30pm for a discussion of “The Future Lies” by John Be Lane.
“What would you do if you found out one day that the Artificial Intelligence that ran everything was lazy, dishonest, and not quite as bright as it seemed? That there might be a way to outwit the Network, in spite of its oppression, and maybe to find love, and something like a future, in the ruins of a desolate world? If you didn’t die trying, that is?”

New on the shelves, grab yourself a treat! These cherry slush boba pearls can be added to any drink to create your very own boba drink. So fun and cheerfully cherry!

We LOVE Valentine’s Day. Not the over sold, over promised date night Valentine’s Day, but the one that promises a light in the dark days of winter, a little sweet treat or a kind deed for a friend or neighbor or your spouse or kids. We love the snuggle of it, the thoughtfulness, the chance to say “I love you” no matter who you say it to. Pop by and take a look at some books, make some cards, create some happiness.

We are so excited to announce that Julia Turshen will be joining us for a book signing event on February 28th in the evening. Details to follow! Save the date and order your copy.
