All readers are welcome to join us as we read and discuss Historical Fiction books. Copies of the books can be picked up at the library. Discussions will be on the first Thursday of the month at 6:30 pm. This month we will be discussing The Stolen Life of Colette Marceau by Kristen Harmel.Summary: "Colette Marceau has spent her life stealing jewels guided by her mother's code: take from the cruel, give to the needy. During WWII in Paris, her mother Annabel was arrested, and her sister Liliane vanished during a raid, with a diamond bracelet hidden in her nightgown. Annabel was executed, and Liliane's body was found, but the bracelet disappeared. Seventy years later, it resurfaces in a Boston museum, unraveling Colette's attempts to put the past behind her. As she chases the bracelet’s secrets, she confronts old ghosts, an unexpected claimant, and the chance to solve her sister's fate - and maybe bring a murderer to justice."--NoveList Plus.[Image of the book cover]

Nature-loving readers with a passion for the outdoors, unite! This year-round, all-weather, nature-themed book club is for the adventurous reader who enjoys walking outdoors. We will start our monthly meetings with a 45–60-minute walk outside and then settle in for a hearty book discussion. This program will run in ALL types of weather (except severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, or any inclement weather that causes the library to close). Proper clothing, outerwear and footwear is a must for your comfort and safety (think layers, hats, rain jackets, gloves, snow pants, boots, sunscreen, bug spray, water bottles, snacks, etc.)Rather than read the same book each month, our book club will center around books about the great outdoors with everyone reading a nature-themed book of their choice.Meeting location during May-October will vary among different local parks. Contact Jess at the Bedford Branch for additional details including current meeting location.

Meanwhile South of the Border:The French Attempt to Take Over Mexico 1862 - 1867When the US Civil War began, enforcing the Monroe Doctrine was pretty low on the priority list and military capability of the US government. The French attempted to take advantage of the situation by taking over Mexico and establishing Archduke Maximilian of Austria as a puppet "Emperor" of Mexico. Many Mexicans resisted this takeover and a 5-year war ensued. The program will focus on two battles, the Mexican victory at Puebla on May 5, 1862 (the famous Cinco de Mayo) and the French Foreign Legion's stand at Camerone in April 1863; and the origins of the conflict, the personalities and leaders on both sides, and the challenges they faced. An important aspect is the interrelation between the "Mexican Adventure" and our simultaneous American Civil War.Dave Jordan was born in Atlanta, Georgia and became interested in the Civil War during the Civil War Centennial. His grandmother lived in an antebellum brick house south of Dalton, Georgia. Soldiers from both sides had stayed in the house, and many of them had written their names, units, hometowns, etc. in charcoal on the walls. Inside the closets (which were added post-war) you could still make out some of the names because they had only been covered with a thin layer of whitewash. His first Civil War related memory was attending the reenactment of the Great Locomotive Chase in 1962. He has served as President of the Kalamazoo Civil War Round Table since 1999, as Newsletter Editor from 2000 - 2019 and Program Director since 2001. He has previously spoken to the Monroe CWRT on the Battle of Olustee.Dave received his Bachelors of Aerospace Engineering from Georgia Tech in 1977 and a Masters in Engineering from Purdue University in 1995. He worked as an engineer in the aerospace industry for 43 years until taking a COVID-related early retirement offer in April 2020. He lives in Texas Township with his wife Tina, daughter Kelsey, a Golden Retriever named Ginger and a cat named Ella. During the summers he works as an Official Scorer at the Kalamazoo Growlers baseball games. He also plays a LOT of pickleball.

Welcome to the Library Games Guild at the Dundee Branch Library, where dice roll, cards shuffle, and strategy rules supreme! Join us on our cozy, mysterious lower level, our secret lair of board game bliss (or, you know, the basement).This is a 16+ event where adults and older teens can gather, snack, and unleash their competitive spirits over tabletop games. We’ll provide some classic and new games, as well as snacks to fuel your brain power. If you have a favorite game or snack, bring it along!No experience? No problem! Whether you’re a seasoned strategist or totally new to tabletop games, everyone is welcome to join the fun.Oh, and here’s the fine print: no little guild members allowed. This is strictly an adventure for the grown-ups and teens 16+, and unfortunately, we’re unable to offer child care. So, leave the younglings at home, grab your game face, and prepare for strategic mayhem, laughter, and the thrill of victory (or at least a solid attempt)!
