MAIN STREET MYSTERIES & THRILLERS BOOK CLUB
Vicksburg District Library introduces a new book club that meets at Main St. Pub! This book club, for adults only, reads mysteries and thrillers. Participants aren’t required to buy alcohol, but they are asked to support the restaurant by ordering something. The May meeting is at 6PM on Wednesday, May 21. We will discuss California Bear by Duane Swierczynski. If you need assistance requesting a copy of the book from MeL, the library’s clerks will be happy to help you.
BOOK BOXES FOR ADULTS
Book Boxes contain books based on personalized recommendations from criteria that you specify, all inside a box with treats: salty, sweet, and a little surprise. Registration is limited to 5 boxes per month. Registration for Book Boxes is now closed. It will reopen on May 1.
How Book Boxes work: You tell us your reading preferences – what you’re looking for and what you’re not looking for – and you’ll get a box with three surprise library books and some treats. The books and boxes are checked out like any other library book and returned on their due date.
