Participants will read nonfiction books to fulfill the requests of various Pokémon and write them a fun fact about the book (including at the top the participant’s name, the title, and the author of the book)! Sheets are provided at the 2nd Floor Kids Desk. When the participant is done with their nonfiction book, they may hand their filled out section to the librarians at the children’s desk in exchange for a sticker.

When their sheet is complete, they may hand it in to earn a Legendary Pokémon sticker and be done for the spring, choose to start the process all over again and read more books to push their team ahead in the rankings, or try and complete their starter collection by switching teams entirely! It’s all up to them! Where: Children’s Information Desk When: Monday, March 30th through Sunday, May 31st Why: To encourage nonfiction reading in people of all ages!

FOR AGES 6-12. Register above for all 5 weeks! Help guide a storybook styled adventure where everything is… PAPER?! Kids read parts of the story and vote on what our Paper Mario and companions should do next while learning about story elements like heroes, themes, and plot. This program is designed to boost children’s reading fluency and comprehension skills, teach how stories are built, & help children practice teamwork and decision-making.     More about Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door:I’m going to tell you the story of the Thousand-Year Door. An awfully long time ago in a strange and far-off land, a big bustling town thrived. It was a town where all people lived very happy lives and it was said that the town was very prosperous… But one day… A great cataclysm struck the town and its people. Darkness filled the skies, and the earth roared and shook. It was as if the very world had come to a violent end and in but a single night… the town sank into the depths of the earth. Many moons rose and set… Stories of the town passed into the pages of fairy tales and when the town’s site no longer held relics of the past, people gathered at that spot and built a new town, Rogueport. But word soon spread among the people who moved in… that an ancient city lay deep underground and that a magnificent treasure rested there. This is the tale of the quest for the legendary treasure of Rogueport and of the Thousand-Year Door…     More about Game Explorers:Game Explorers is all about showcasing how video games can provide value to a child’s life by using them as tools to explore storytelling techniques and in turn bolstering their reading, writing, and listening skills. Rather than have children staring blankly at a screen, Game Explorers has them engaging with the text, making decisive decisions as a team, answering questions, and following instructions. Children do not have direct control of the game, instead they work together as a team to help navigate the instructor. The gameplay is interrupted by discussion of the characters, setting, and themes of the story. This program is best for Children who can MOSTLY read independently. The group will work together to help sound out long or difficult words. Children should be made aware that they will NOT be actively holding the controller at all times.

Join us for an in-person event to celebrate the release of A NOVEL CRIME, by Deborah Levison. Deborah will be in conversation with Marilyn Simon Rothstein. About A NOVEL CRIME: She wanted to write the perfect novel. Instead, she became the perfect villain. Struggling romance writer and recent divorcée Marcy Jo Codburn feels like a failure. She’s green with author envy and longing for a book deal, a launch party with cupcakes, and the admiration of her daughter. But her dream of literary success is fading faster than her beige hair dye. When she witnesses celebrated author Francesca Barber in a compromising position, Marcy sees her chance. Transforming into her bolder, blonder alter ego, she leverages Francesca’s secret to secure the ultimate coauthor. As their collaboration spirals from Marcy’s modest Connecticut home to Francesca’s lavish Hamptons estate, both women discover that in the cutthroat world of publishing, every story has its price.   With looming deadlines and more than one fraud to hide, their twisted partnership careens toward a surprise ending neither could have written. May Cobb calls it “uproariously funny” and “ingeniously plotted,” Samantha Bailey describes it as a “wickedly hilarious delight” and Gregg Hurwitz says it “packs in the drama and tabloid-worthy conniving.” Deborah Levison: Debbie’s life has two parts: first in Canada, at the Royal Conservatory of Music and the University of Toronto, and second in Connecticut, with three children, two doodles, and one husband. She is an award-winning writer, published in national and international media. Her first book, a true crime about a murder that involved her family, is THE CRATE. Inspired by real-life abuses at elite New England private schools, A NEST OF SNAKES followed. Her third book, A NOVEL CRIME, is about a romance writer desperate for a bestseller. Debbie’s dream of storytelling began one summer night by a camp bonfire as she listened to a ghost story: The Monkey’s Paw. The memory still makes her shiver. Visit her at www.debbielevison.com. Marilyn Simon Rothstein is the author of four novels, WHO LOVES YOU BEST, CRAZY TO LEAVE YOU, HUSBANDS AND OTHER SHARP OBJETS,  LIFT AND SEPARATE. She grew up in New York City, earned a degree in journalism from NYU, began her writing career at Seventeen magazine, married a man she met in an elevator and owned an award-winning advertising agency for more than twenty-five years. Marilyn is an engaging speaker who has addressed thousands of avid readers–from Dallas to Atlanta to Miami to Memphis (and of course, Avon!).  Books by both authors will be for sale at this event. Please register, so we can set the community room up with appropriate seating.

“here in my hands is a book about disappointment”: Reading about Reading in Virginia Evans’s The Correspondent Join us for our annual literature lecture and discussion, featuring one of the most popular books of the past year: The Correspondent.  In a letter addressed to Mr. Larry McMurtry on December 10, 2018, Sybil Van Antwerp, the tortured heroine of Virginia Evans’s The Correspondent (2025), describes her experiences reading McMurtry’s Lonesome Dove. She writes to him, “I was sitting there thinking here in my hands is a book about disappointment” (254). Sybil’s description of reading McMurtry’s novel reflects the readers’ own experience of reading The Correspondent. During our discussion, we will consider the ways this brilliant epistolary novel illustrates not only Sybil’s disappointments but also her reading preferences—and discover our own reading preferences in the process. Aimee Pozorski has authored Roth and Trauma: The Problem of History in the Later Works (2011), Falling After 9/11: Crisis in American Art and Literature (2014), and AIDS-Trauma and Politics (2019). The fourth book in her trauma tetralogy, Sex, Drugs, and Gentrification: Housing Trauma in the American City is forthcoming in 2026.  She has edited or co-edited volumes on the topics of Philip Roth, American Modernism, and HIV/AIDS representation. With Maren Scheurer, she co-edited the peer-reviewed journal, Philip RothStudies from 2019-2024 and the Bloomsbury Handbook to Philip Roth (2024). She is Professor of English at Central Connecticut State University, where she also directs the certificate in Racial Justice. Please register, so we can set the community room up with appropriate seating. Bring your book club! Sponsored by the Friends of the Avon Library.

Meet mystery writers Edwin Hill, Jenna Blum, Joseph Moldover! This dynamic author panel will field questions about murder, mayhem, and all things novel-related.  Books by each author will be for sale at this event. Author bios appear first, then the descriptions of their new books.~~~Edwin Hill is the Edgar and Agatha Award–nominated author of the standalone thrillers What Happened Next (coming in 2026), Who to Believe and The Secrets We Share, and Little Comfort, The Missing Ones, and Watch Her in the Hester Thursby series. He has been featured in Us Weekly magazine, received starred reviews in Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist, and Library Journal, and was recognized as one of Six Crime Writers to Watch in Mystery Scene magazine. Edwin lives in Roslindale, Massachusetts, with his partner, Michael, and his favorite reviewer, their Lab Edith Ann, who likes Edwin’s first drafts enough to eat them. A lot of people helped him create this series, and he is a big believer in paying forward. Jenna Blum is the New York Times and internationally bestselling author of novels THOSE WHO SAVE US, THE STORMCHASERS, and THE LOST FAMILY novella “The Lucky One” in anthology GRAND CENTRAL memoir WOODROW ON THE BENCH audio course “The Author At Work: The Art of Writing Fiction” and WWII audio drama THE KEY OF LOVE, available on every major podcast streaming platform. Jenna is one of Oprah’s Top Thirty Women Writers, with her work published in over 20 countries, and cofounder/CEO of online author interview platform A Mighty Blaze. Jenna’s first novel, THOSE WHO SAVE US, won the Ribalow Prize, awarded by Hadassah Magazine and adjudged by Elie Wiesel, and was a Borders pick and the #1 bestselling novel in Holland. THE STORMCHASERS was a Boston Globe bestseller, a Target Emerging Authors pick, featured in Elle Magazine, and a bestseller in France and Holland THE LOST FAMILY, also a bestseller, was an Indiebound pick and garnered starred reviews from all four major trades: Booklist, Publishers’ Weekly, Kirkus, and Library Journal. Jenna’s bestselling memoir WOODROW ON THE BENCH was a Midwestern Booksellers’ pick and is now available in paperback. Jenna’s latest novel, psychological thriller MURDER YOUR DARLINGS, is available from Harper Collins 01/13/26. Joseph Moldover, a clinical neuropsychologist, is the author of the young adult novels Every Moment After and Just Until. His short fiction has appeared in McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, Pangyrus, Stonecoast Review, MonkeyBicycle, One Teen Story, Typehouse, The MacGuffin, and elsewhere. From 2020–2023 he co-hosted the online program and podcast Authors Love Bookstores for A Mighty Blaze. He lives in Massachusetts with his wife and their four children. What Happens Next: In this twisting domestic suspense thriller from the acclaimed author of The Secrets We Share, the aftermath of a murder in a quiet New England coastal town reveals a web of dark secrets . . . Monreith, Massachusetts, was once a small community of whalers and farmers. These days it’s a well-to-do town filled with commuters drawn to its rugged coastline and country roads. A peaceful, predictable place—until popular restaurateur Laurel Thibodeau is found brutally murdered in her own home. Suspicion naturally falls on Laurel’s husband, Simon, who had gambling debts that only her life insurance policy could fix. But there are other rumors too . . . Among the group of six friends gathered for Alice Stone’s fortieth birthday, theories abound concerning Laurel’s death. Max Barbosa, police chief, has heard plenty of them, as has his longtime friend, Unitarian minister Georgia Fitzhugh. Local psychiatrist Farley Drake is privy to even more, gleaning snippets of gossip and information from his patients while closely guarding his own past. But maybe everyone in Monreith has something to hide. Because before this late-summer evening has come to a close, one of these six will be dead.  And as jealousy, revenge, adultery, and greed converge, the question becomes not who among these friends might be capable of such a thing, but—who isn’t? To the End of Reckoning: After a traumatic brain injury alters a curmudgeonly psychiatrist’s mind—leaving him agitated and confused but obsessively observant—he enlists his reluctant son to help investigate a colleague’s mysterious suicide . . . Twenty-three-year-old Lukas Moore has returned to his hometown of Faith, New York, and left his burgeoning acting career behind to care for his father. Dr. Richard Moore is a psychiatrist known for being nearly as misanthropic as he is brilliant, but a recent traumatic brain injury has left him dependent on his begrudgingly attentive son and has changed his worldview in unexpected ways. Attuned to the slightest detail, Dr. Moore now sees mysteries where other people see settled facts—nowhere more so than in the disappearance of his former colleague and neighbor Dr. Jason Grant. One year ago, Jason’s shoes, watch, and car were found beside a nearby lake and no trace of him has been found since. The obvious conclusion was suicide, despite Jason’s youth, wealth, and successful career as a child psychiatrist. Only two people question his fate: Richard, obsessed with fragments of memory, and Misty, Jason’s younger sister and Lukas’s high school girlfriend.When Misty asks for the Moores’ help in finding out what really happened to her brother, Lukas takes the chance to resolve his father’s obsession and to reconnect with someone he may still have feelings for. As Lukas, Richard, and Misty are drawn into the puzzle, however, they are forced to confront the secrets behind both Jason’s disappearance and Richard’s injury. Sometimes the deepest mysteries are found in the people we think we know best.Murder Your Darlings: For every woman who’s ever fallen for a bad man comes a hilarious and eviscerating tale of love, loss, and deadlines from New York Times bestselling author Jenna Blum. Known for such brilliant historical novels as Those Who Save Us and The Lost Family, A Mighty Blaze co-founder and New York Times bestselling author Jenna Blum now offers a contemporary, suspenseful novel about love, loss, and revenge in the world of books. Simone “Sam” Vetiver is a mid-career novelist finishing a lukewarm publicity tour while facing a deadline for a new book on which she’s totally blocked. Recently divorced, Sam is worrying where her life is going when she receives glowing fan mail from stratospherically successful author William Corwyn, renowned for his female-centric novels. When William and Sam meet and his literary sympathy is as intense as their chemistry, both writers think they’ve found The One.  But as in their own novels, things between Sam and William are not what they seem. William has multiple stalkers, including a scarily persistent one named The Rabbit. He lives on a remote Maine island, where his writer life resembles The Shining. And when writers turn up dead, including from The Darlings support group William runs, Sam has to ask: Is it The Rabbit—William’s #1 Stalker? Another woman scorned? Can William be everything he seems? Narrated by Sam, William, and The Rabbit, Murder Your Darlings is a wickedly witty look at today’s literary landscape and down-the-rabbit-hole tale of how far people will go for love. ~~ Please register, so we can set the community room up with appropriate seating.
