6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 9: 20&30 Something Book Club, lower level meeting room. “We were never here,” by Andrea Bartz. Emily is having the time of her life – she’s in the mountains of Chile with her best friend, Kristen, on their annual reunion trip, and the women are feeling closer than ever. But on the last night of the trip, Emily enters their hotel suite to find blood and broken glass on the floor. Kristen says the cute backpacker she brought back to their room attacked her, and she had no choice but to kill him in self-defense. Even more shocking: The scene is horrifyingly similar to last year’s trip, when another backpacker wound up dead. Emily can’t believe it’s happened again – can lightning really strike twice?

9:30 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 11: Thursday Tots.

9 to 11 a.m. Friday, Jan. 12: Tech Help Friday, by appointment.

10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Jan. 13: Peruvian Purlers, lower level meeting room. Are you an avid knitter looking for some inspiration and a community to share your craft with? Join the hobby group.
