Special Reading Event October 11th!

October is National Reading Group Month, and the Central City Public Library is going to feature a special reading event for people who love mysteries.  The library is borrowing 16 copies of the book “The Number One Ladies Detective Agency” by Alexander McCall Smith.  These copies will be available for people to check out and read  after September 12.   There will be a book discussion/mystery event on Thursday, October 11, at 7 PM in the meeting room. This series is about a lady detective in Botswana, Africa, today, although it could be happening right around the corner as well.  She and her secretary/assistant are the main characters and they are a fun study in character.  The discussion will center around the way the author depicts the characters and setting, and how this kind of mystery differs from the “hard-core” detective stories.  Join us for some refreshments as we take a look at a different kind of mystery series.  Stop in and reserve a  book today.  We’ll give you a call as soon as they arrive.
