Join us to discuss a speculative fiction book every third Wednesday of the month! We will be reading Someone You Can Build a Best In by John Wiswell. "Shesheshen is a shapeshifter, who happily resides as an amorphous lump at the bottom of a ruined manor. When her rest is interrupted by impolite monster hunters, she constructs a body from the remains of past meals: a metal chain for a backbone, borrowed bones for limbs, and a bear trap as an extra mouth. Badly hurt by the hunters, Shesheshen’s nursed back to health by Homily, a warm-hearted human. Homily is kind and would make a great co-parent: an ideal place to lay Shesheshen’s eggs so their young can devour Homily from the inside out. But as they grow close, Shesheshen realizes that eating her girlfriend isn’t an option. Just as Shesheshen’s about to confess her identity, Homily reveals something else: she’s hunting a shapeshifting monster that supposedly cursed her family. Has Shesheshen seen it anywhere?" Books will be available at the circulation desk and on Overdrive/Libby. Registration is only required if you'd like to receive updates about upcoming meetings. Questions?

A new weekly drop-in series!  Take a break from the weekly hustle and bustle and join us for a laid-back creative series in our Periodicals Room.  We will provide a welcoming space to meet other local crafters in a fun, calm environment. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or simply looking to relax with an adult coloring sheet, this casual drop-in event is the perfect opportunity to unwind. Enjoy a peaceful atmosphere with calming music while you work on fun crafting and coloring projects. This event will not include a guided craft project, but will instead offer materials for simple, self-directed projects. You're also encouraged to bring your own projects if you're just looking for a space to work in a community environment. This adults-only event is drop-in, no registration required.  Come for part or all of the two hour block.  We look forward to seeing what you create! https://burlington.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/cozy-coloring-crafting-17/
