Register for Murder at the Library, https://bit.ly/3ffQ7wi for a live book discussion with the author, Marie Benedict, on Wednesday, April 28th at 7:00 pm and receive your ZOOM link in advance of the program. Review the Discussion Guide https://bit.ly/2PxHsuu in advance of the program. Storyline: In December 1926, Agatha Christie goes missing. Investigators... find her empty car on the edge of a deep, gloomy pond, the only clues some tire tracks nearby and a fur coat left in the carstrange for a frigid night. Her husband and daughter have no knowledge of her whereabouts, and England unleashes an unprecedented manhunt to find the up-and-coming mystery author. Eleven days later, she reappears, just as mysteriously as she disappeared, claiming amnesia and providing no explanations for her time away. A master storyteller whose clever mind may never be matched, Agatha Christie’s untold history offers perhaps her greatest mystery of all. #PAForward #CivicandSocialLiteracy #mysterylovers

Wrapping up the roster of Gatsby-themed events for National Library Week will be a virtual concert by Bill and the Belles presented by Susquehanna Folk Music Society. Visit SFMS at https://www.sfmsfolk.org/concerts/BillBelles.html for ticket information. The show is free but individuals need to register to receive Zoom links prior to the event on Saturday, April 17, 2021, @ 2:00 pm. Bill and the Belles have a spirited sound that falls somewhere between old-time country and vaudeville; the group puts its own spin on a golden era of music, specifically the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. The group has captured the freewheeling, lighthearted approach to music that has endeared them to listeners of every generation. #greatgatsby #paforward #civicandsocialliteracy
