Programs and Events

On Thursday, September 24, at 7PM, we will be discussing the book "Run Rose Run" by Dolly Parton and James Patterson. (The book was slected months ago, but is almost too timely given Dolly's recent passing.)

The story follows a gifted singer-songwriter running from a troubled background in Texas, who travels to Nashville with her guitar and a secret-filled backpack, desparate to become a country music superstar. But ghosts of her past are threatening to follow her, so she'll have to keep moving a hide who she really is.

"Run Rose Run!"

Copies are now available at the library to sign out.
