Not Your Mother's Book Club
A book club with edgier readers in mind.
If you like edgy stories and a variety of genres, join us for Not Your Mother’s Book Club! We meet on the second Thursday of the month at 6:30 pm at The Depot to discuss our current selection.
"A heartbreaking and hilarious memoir by iCarly and Sam & Cat star Jennette McCurdy about her struggles as a former child actor—including eating disorders, addiction, and a complicated relationship with her overbearing mother—and how she retook control of her life."
Local History Round Table
Look through our resources, swap stories, and learn about our local history!
Stop by the Local History Library @ the Depot on the third Saturday of everyone month at 11 am for our Local History Round Table! We’ll have a new discussion topic every month, as well as a local expert who will come speak!
Crafty Creations: Adult Crafts
Get crafty at the library!
APLD has monthly crafting opportunities for adults–all free of charge to participants. Some of these crafts are led by library staff or volunteers, but sometimes the library brings in outside experts to lead the instruction. Most activities try to be complete in one sitting, but this is not always possible. Find out more about this month’s craft in the newsletter.
Registration is required for all our adult craft programs. Registration opens one week prior to the event.
Between the Lines Book Club
Read a variety of books with moderator Ron Nicholson!
BTL is a relaxed and friendly gathering of people who enjoy sharing comments, ideas and questions about a common book they have read. The group moderator engages the members in discussion while sharing background information about the author, story, time period and locale.
BTL has three meeting times available each month so there’s always a time that fits in your schedule!
"In June, 1954, eighteen-year-old Emmett Watson is driven home to Nebraska by the warden of the work farm where he has just served a year for involuntary manslaughter. His mother long gone, his father recently deceased, and the family farm foreclosed upon by the bank, Emmett’s intention is to pick up his eight-year-old brother and head west where they can start their lives anew. But when the warden drives away, Emmett discovers that two friends from the work farm have hidden themselves in the trunk of the warden’s car. Together, they have hatched an altogether different plan for Emmett’s future."
