Please Note: While masking is no longer required in public spaces, dancing is a high exertion activity that causes heavy breathing and in close proximity to others. In addition, asymptomatic spread of COVID is common, especially among vaccinated individuals. Other activities like changing partners increase potential exposure further.

Talk books with us! Read recent paperback bestsellers, bring your thoughts on the pick of the month, and share what else you’re reading with a friendly, welcoming group!
We’ve got a great pick for Women’s History Month, a Goodreads Best Book of the Year!
Our Next Pick: “When Women Were Dragons” by Kelly Barnhill
Description: Alex Green is a young girl in a world much like ours, except for its most seminal event: the Mass Dragoning of 1955, when hundreds of thousands of ordinary wives and mothers sprouted wings, scales, and talons; left a trail of fiery destruction in their path; and took to the skies. Was it their choice? What will become of those left behind? Why did Alex’s beloved aunt Marla transform but her mother did not? Alex doesn’t know and is forbidden to ask.
Nevertheless, Alex must face the consequences of this astonishing event: a mother more protective than ever; an absentee father; the upsetting insistence that her aunt never even existed; and watching her beloved cousin Bea become dangerously obsessed with the forbidden.
This timely and timeless speculative novel boldly explores rage, memory, and the tyranny of forced limitations. When Women Were Dragons exposes a world that wants to keep women small—their lives and their prospects—and examines what happens when they rise en masse and take up the space they deserve.
You can get it from the library, in person from our neighbors at Third Place Books, or order it online at ThirdPlaceBooks.com.
