Library Business- Are You Feelin' Crafty?

She doesn't really have anything to do with the project; I just think she's cute!

Hello everyone! I hope you all are enjoying Zen and the Art of Vampires!  Carolyn, the Branch Manager at Ladysmith, has asked if any of us would be interested in helping out the Library by doing some crafts for Ladysmith Day.  She had originally planned for the Teen Club to do these crafts, but attendance for that group has dropped off and she is opening it up to anyone who wants to help out.  I don't really have too much information at this point, but this is not going to be a part of our meeting, so if you don't want to help out, you don't have to.  If anyone's interested, please let me know and I'll pass it on to Carolyn.  I'll also try and get some more information if anyone is on the fence.  Thanks!

Our Next Book is...

We're going for a walk on the dark side this March and reading Zen and the Art of Vampires by Katie MacAlister.  It is the sixth book in MacAlister's "Dark Ones" series.  You can check out the GoodReads page for the book here and a list of all the books in the series here.

I will post the review and discussion questions for this book on Saturday, March 9th.  That will also be the day of our in-person meeting, held from 1 to 3pm at the Ladysmith Library.  Hope to see you all there and online!  Happy reading!

The Lucky One Review and Discussion Questions

February is the month for romance and our book club pick- The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks- definitely fits that bill!  It weaves together the stories of Logan Thibault, Beth Green, and Keith Clayton.  Thibault, an Iraq war veteran, finds a picture of a girl while in Iraq and it changes his luck for the better.  He starts winning at poker and it saves his life on more than one occassion.  Once he gets back to the States, he sets out to find the girl in the photo.  She turns out to be Beth Green, a divorced elementary school teacher living in Hampton, North Carolina.  Beth's ex-husband is Keith Clayon.  Clayton is from the family that runs Hampton and is definitely sleazy.  He follows Beth around and has run off any man that dates her.  He's also not a very good father to their son, Ben.  When Thibault comes into town, he starts working at Beth's family kennel and slowly he and Beth fall in love.

Reminder- The Lucky One is THIS Saturday!

Oh Zac Efron, don't worry if you haven't finished reading yet!

Just wanted to send out a quick reminder that our meeting for The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks is THIS SATURDAY from 1 - 3pm at the Ladysmith Branch Library's meeting room.  I know that it is a super-quick turn-around from our last meeting, so please still plan on attending even if you haven't finished the book.  Hope to see everyone there!
