Speaking of that cabin by the lake, you won't want to miss Victoria Houston! She's back with the next Loon Lake mystery - Dead Firefly. More event details here. By the way, here's a Chicago Tribune review of Houston's work.

7 pm
Author Patricia Sutton will be here to talk about her book Capsized!  Although this book is written to a younger audience, we're sure that you'll be interested in the questions raised by the books -- such as Why do we know so much about the Titanic's sinking yet so little about the Eastland disaster? What causes a tragedy to be forgotten and left out of society's collective memory? And What lessons from this disaster might we be able to apply today?  Here's more about the event. 

Thursday, July 26
7 pm
How about a wonderful evening of poetry? We're sure you'll enjoy meeting Ed Werstein and Sylvia Cavanaugh. Here's more about the event. 

Saturday, July 28
10 am to 5 pm
Monroe Street Sidewalk Sale
Perhaps this event could be renamed to the Monroe Street "Insidewalk" Sale... Although we do have a sidewalk now, it's not quite wide enough to hold our tables of goodies without spilling out onto the construction zone. Nevertheless, we will have tables of bargains inside. As always, there is usually parking on the neighboring side streets, next to the Monroe Street Library, or in the city lot directly across from the store. 

If things go according to plan, we're thinking the construction is about halfway done... Keep your fingers crossed for us!

See you soon.
