Clicquot Book Club
Love books? Love talking about books? Join us for the Cliquot Book Club review the first Thursday of every month from 2-3:30pm. We meet in the Roche Bros. room. Hear what’s new in books, what makes a great read, and discover reader favorites. The best part about this club is that you don’t even have to read the books before you come. Each month we discuss several new releases and our opinions of them. Discussions are lively, full of laughter and we serve light refreshments.
The only thing missing is you.
Our next meeting will be Thursday, November 5th, in the Roche Bros Room! We hope to see you there!

Millennial Women’s Book Club
We have a new book club and would love to invite anyone interested to join us for it! Come join us for a book club focusing on fiction centering women and their lives on Thursday, October 22nd at 6:30pm! Our first meeting will be discussing “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” by Rufi Thorpe. The library has requested several copies, so feel free to stop by the front desk and let them know you want a copy for the Millennial Women’s Book Club.
Anyone of any gender or adult age is welcome to join this book club, we just had a vibe with the name.
Horror and Thriller book club
All are welcome to join the most daring book club at the MPL! Returning on Monday, November 9th at 6:30pm, come down to meet fellow enthusiasts of the dark and exciting worlds of these sub-genres. Bring friends, suggestions for novels or authors, and get ready for a chillingly good time!
Our next read will be Alma Katsu’s “Fiend”. Pick it up at the front desk of the library!
“The Berisha family runs one of the largest import-export companies in the world, and they’ve always been lucky. Their rivals suffer strokes. Inconvenient buildings catch on fire. Earthquakes swallow up manufacturing plants, destroying harmful evidence. Things always seem to work out for the Berishas. They’re blessed.
At least that is what Zef, the patriarch, has always told his three children. And each of them knows their place in the family—Dardan, as the only male heir, must prepare to take over as keeper of the Berisha secrets, Maris’s most powerful contribution, much to her dismay, will be to marry strategically, and Nora’s job, as the youngest, is to just stay out of the way. But when things stop going as planned, and the family blessing starts looking more like a curse, the Berishas begin to splinter, each hatching their own secret scheme. They didn’t get to be one of the richest families in the world without spilling a little blood, but this time, it might be their own.”
And if you want a head start on December’s book, it will be “Malorie” by Josh Malerman!

Looking for something new to read but haven’t been feeling a full book?
Join us for our Virtual Book Club – a biweekly gathering where we look at a different short story each time. We’ll be switching between the classics and contemporary stories, reading everything from literary fiction to horror to fantasy and science fiction, so no matter where your tastes lie, we’ll have something for you! The only rule for the club is that all of our stories must be freely accessible online, so get ready to open a new tab, pour yourself a drink, and see what’s out there.
If you’re interested in joining, email Rebecca to get the Zoom link and reminders on our next meetings, or check out our event calendar to get the story links!
