OCTOBER 1st we will be discussing On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness by Andrew Peterson, the book we read in September. Participants will also receive the next book we will be reading for October which is A WRINKLE IN TIME by Madeleine L'Engle. A WRINKLE IN TIME summary from Amazon.com: It was a dark and stormy night; Meg Murry, her small brother Charles Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight snack when they were upset by the arrival of a most disturbing stranger. "Wild nights are my glory," the unearthly stranger told them. "I just got caught in a downdraft and blown off course. Let me sit down for a moment, and then I'll be on my way. Speaking of ways, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract." A tesseract (in case the reader doesn't know) is a wrinkle in time. Participants will read the book for that month and discuss it the following month. There will be a craft or activity to go along with the book. This book club is for grades 3rd - 8th. Please register below to join the CLUB!

Felting is one of the oldest forms of textile arts. Needle felting is begun by rolling a small amount of wool and stabbing it with the needle. It is a quick hobby to learn, and many find it stress-relieving. For October & November we will be making a cornucopia and filling it with a variety of thanksgiving bounty. This project will continue into November and is recommended to attend both. If you are only able to attend one class, that is fine, but you will not have as detailed of a project. This adult group meets on the first Thursday afternoon of each month to make a project. Please join us for this NO cost program. Registration is REQUIRED for this program. Fill out the form below.

A Novel Idea is BMPL's book club. Join us each month to explore and discuss the month's book. Retired English teacher Steve Holland is our book guide. A Novel Idea Book Club meets in the library on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 1:30 pm. Newcomers are always welcome to this lively book group! The October book is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterwork of honor and injustice in the deep South—and the heroism of one man in the face of blind and violent hatred. One of the most cherished stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has served as the basis for an enormously popular motion picture, and was voted one of the best novels of the twentieth century by librarians across the country. A gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South poisoned by virulent prejudice, it views a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father—a crusading local lawyer—risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime. (Book Summary from amazon.com) NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED. YOU CAN FIND A COPY OF THE BOOK FOR CHECK OUT ON THE NOVEL IDEA BOOK CLUB DISPLAY AT THE BMPL LIBRARY.
