"The Janes"!

Author Jane Cleland and Library Staff Member Jane Frazier get ready for

the Summer of Mystery.

Summer of Mystery

at the New Canaan Library

Hot fun with Summer Reading! The New Canaan Library is celebrating the mystery this summer. Readers are asked to write reviews of recommended books. It's time to uncover your secrets, your mysteries and your puzzles. It doesn't have to be a traditional murder mystery, it can be a "true crime account", or perhaps a medical mystery, maybe some historic never-solved mystery, or a scientific mystery..."what ever happened to The Lost Continent of Atlantis or the Bermuda Triangle". Check the Summer of Mystery Link on the website and find out what books your neighbors are reading. You can submit your review in one of three ways, either click on the adult summer reading link on the Library's website, http://www.newcanaanlibrary.org/, or email bookreviews@newcanaanlibrary.org or fill out a form available at the LIbrary.

We have had some wonderful authors of mysteries and thrillers at the Library this summer. Karen E. Olson kicked off our Summer of Mystery on July 7th with her newest novel, The Missing Ink, followed by Margo Berwin with Hothouse Flower and the NIne Planets of Desire, then Jane Cleland introduced us to Killer Keepsakes and today, Stephen Carter left everyone on the edge of their seat, "dying" to read, Jericho's Fall. Tomorrow evening, Thursday, July 23rd, Elizabeth Bettina will be discussing her book, It Happened in Italy, about Italian heroism during the Holocaust. We were also entertained and educated by Richard Wiese as he shared his experiences in Born to Explore and will conclude our summer author programs with New Canaan author Jeff Blumenfeld next Wednesday as her talks about his book, You want to go Where?

Then August arrives and we read and read and read! We also get ready for a Fall/Winter schedule of events that will keep readers at the Library. It's a "Mystery to Me" how we solve the riddles, but don't forget to enter our weekly raffle of Mystery Trivia. The question is posted in the Library and on the website each week.
