Calling all armchair detectives to our new True Crime Book Discussion! Each month we will investigate a new story that proves fact is almost always scarier than fiction. Grab your notepads and stakeout snacks because the game is afoot!
Books can be obtained digitally through Overdrive and/or Hoopla, or a limited number of copies will be available from the library. Patrons may choose to attend virtually through Zoom or in-person at the library.
