Wednesday 5/4 at 6:30pm

This month's selection is The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman! It is a fresh take on the beloved tradition of British cozy mysteries.

The club from the title is a group of four friends who live in a retirement community and meet weekly to investigate unsolved murder cases.

Through funny and perceptive writing, the book shows the perils of underestimating folks in their 70s, and it will be an absolute delight for whodunit fans of any age.

Join the discussion online on Wednesday, May 4th at 6:30-7:30pm, or call 253-215-8782 to join by phone.

This year's upcoming Summer Reading theme is "Read Beyond the Beaten Path," and we'll be challenging you to read in genres you might not be in the habit of exploring – but before that, we thought it would be fun to focus on a familiar movie adaptation of a book where the characters do everything they can to stay on a well-defined road.

Check out Adult Services Librarian John's list of movies, music, and nifty trivia you might not have known about the things that inspired and were inspired by this beloved comfort watch.
