In ancient Timbuktu, Òdòdó, a member of a guild of women smiths, is thrown into high society, battle, and political maneuvering when her city is conquered by the warrior king of Yorùbáland. Pick up a copy of "Masquerade" by O. O. Sangoyomi and sign up to discuss this mythical retelling in the next Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Club.

[image description: A black background with faint stars has some amorphous blobs of seemingly reflective substance in the upper left and lower right of the frame. Outlined with thin white lines are four discrete pieces of information. 1. "Book Discussion, Science Fiction & Fantasy Book Discussion" is written across the top, while the book cover is in the same outline to the lower right. The cover features woman in traditional African robes in front of an elephant among golden flowers. Below the cover is the title and author: Masquerade by O.O. Sangoyomi. 2. Round Lake Area Library logo is at the upper right. 3. "Date: Monday, November 9 ; 7 PM; Book available at Circulation for checkout" is on the left. 4.

Thursday mornings are the time for toddlers to enjoy age-appropriate stories, music, movement, and a craft. Bring your toddler to Toddler Storytime at the library for fun and learning.

Looping lines of orange, white and blue create a festive mood, and the library logo is on the right, above the children. Text says: Toddler Storytime (Ages 1-2) Every Thursday 10am Activity Room]

Did you know that your little ones can explore the galaxy when you borrow a Baby Space Explorer kit from the Round Lake Area Public Library?

[image description: A panel on the left half of the space contains a collection of brightly colored, simply drawn planets, comets, aliens, and a rocket, all with smiling faces, on a dark blue background dotted with stars. This panel is overlapped with simple illustrations in each corner, clockwise from upper left: a chubby purple asterisk, a pair of headphones, a Round Lake Area Public Library card, and an open book. On the top of the right half, a yellow panel stretches that full width but is about one-fifth the height. “Know your library” is written on that panel in basic, black lettering. The rest of the right half is a light blue panel with Simple black lettering and the Round Lake Area Public Library logo. Text says: Baby Space Explorer Kit]
