Now That's What I Call Music Bingo: One-Hit Wonders!
Friday, February 24 at 7:00 pm We will play samples on shuffle from a custom "One-Hit Wonders" Playlist that match spaces on bingo cards provided. We will not announce the name of the song, you must know the song to cover the space. There is no charge to participate. All play is individual. See you at the brewery!
We are looking for small puzzle pieces to repurpose!
Do you have a puzzle that is missing some pieces or you no longer use as a puzzle? We would love to have the pieces for bingo markers! The smaller the better as the cards and squares are not very big. Please bring them by the library if you have small puzzle pieces to donate. Thank you!
Two Peaks One Book Returns! This year we have chosen "A Man Called Ove" as our selection. This debut novel by Stockholm native Fredrick Backman introduces us to Ove....a thoroughly grumpy older man who has staunch principals, a quick temper and who is contemplating putting an end to it all, when circumstances and life gets in the way. We travel on back to what got him to this place through flashbacks and reflections on love and loss. The writing is charming and often funny, the characters are original and Ove is bittersweet and unforgettable. It will make you laugh and cry. Stop by LVPL for your free copy, read or reread Ove and then plan to join us in March for a book discussion, movie and events surrounding our selection. Always great fun! Be looking in the Journal and on our website for dates and details!
