SUMMARY:Edgar: Book Club: "Remarkably Bright Creatures" by Shelby Van Pelt
DESCRIPTION:Join library staff and other book lovers for engaging discussions of books each month! In May\, we will discuss “Remarkably Bright Creatures” by Shelby Van Pelt. \nAfter Tova Sullivan’s husband died\, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium\, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope\, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son\, Erik\, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus\, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova. Ever the detective\, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova’s son disappeared. And now Marcellus must use every trick his old invertebrate body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it’s too late. \nNo registration is required\, and all are welcome! Stop by the library to check out a copy of the book. For more information\, please contact us at 715-352-3155.

SUMMARY:Hatley: Book Club: "Death Stalks Door County" by Patricia Skalka
DESCRIPTION:Join library staff and other book lovers for engaging discussions of books each month! In May\, we will discuss “Death Stalks Door County” by Wisconsin author Patricia Skalka. \nSix deaths mar the holiday mood as summer vacationers enjoy Wisconsin’s beautiful Door County peninsula. Murders\, or bizarre accidents? Newly hired park ranger Dave Cubiak\, a former Chicago homicide detective\, assumes the worst but refuses to get involved. Grief-stricken and guilt-ridden over the loss of his wife and daughter\, he’s had enough of death. Forced to confront the past\, the morose Cubiak moves beyond his own heartache and starts investigating\, even as a popular festival draws more people into possible danger. In a desperate search for clues\, Cubiak uncovers a tangled web of greed\, betrayal\, bitter rivalries\, and lost love beneath the peninsula’s travel-brochure veneer. Befriended by several locals but unsure whom to trust or to suspect of murder\, the one-time cop tracks a clever killer. \nEveryone is welcome to join the discussion. No registration is required. Stop by the library for a copy of the book to check out! For more information\, please contact us at 715-446-3537.
