Even though our meeting room is hosting early voting, book club will continue as scheduled this month! Instead of meeting at the library, we'll be going to Izzy's Coffeehouse just on the other side of the fire station. The address is 976 Haywood Rd. Izzy's has a gravel parking lot, so you won't have to fight the early voting lines.

We're reading Japanese Gothic by Kylie Lee Baker, something a little spooky to take us to the end of spooky season. There are still copies available at the desk if you want to check one out. We hope to see you there!
