Join us this Thursday, September 24th at 6pm!

This fun program begins with a trip to Mars for an update about NASA’s two very successful robotic explorers: the Perseverance and Curiosity rovers. We will learn about their amazing science instruments and tools that collect information about the planet in preparation for future astronaut missions, and see how the robots have uncovered clues to help solve mysteries about Mars when it had lakes and rivers billions of years ago.

Do you love books? Do you love talking about books?

If so, why haven't you joined the Check 'Em Out Book Club at Oneida Library?

This month they are reading The Briar Club by Kate Quinn and meeting on Monday, September 28th. They have copies of the book waiting behind the front desk. Or you can borrow the ebook or audiobook on Libby.

Can't quite finish the book before the 28th? Don't let that stop you from joining the book club- the group is incredibly welcoming 💙📖

This month we are reading The Briar Club by Kate Quinn. Copies are available at the front desk or on digitally on Libby!

"The New York Times bestselling author of The Diamond Eye and The Rose Code returns with a haunting and powerful work of historical fiction, a story of female friendships and secrets in a Washington, DC, boardinghouse during the McCarthy era.

In this gripping women’s fiction novel, everyone keeps to themselves at Briarwood House, a down-at-the-heels all-female boardinghouse in the heart of the nation’s capital where secrets hide behind white picket fences. But when the lovely, mysterious widow Grace March moves into the attic room, she draws her oddball collection of neighbors into unlikely friendship: poised English beauty Fliss, whose facade of perfect wife and mother covers gaping inner wounds; policeman’s daughter Nora, who finds herself entangled with a shadowy gangster; frustrated baseball star Beatrice, whose career has come to an end along with the women’s baseball league of WWII; and poisonous, gung-ho Arlene, who has thrown herself into McCarthy’s Red Scare.

Grace’s weekly attic-room dinner parties and window-brewed sun tea become a healing balm on all their lives, but she hides a terrible secret of her own. When a shocking act of violence tears the house apart, the Briar Club women must decide once and for all: who is the true enemy in their midst?

Capturing the paranoia of the McCarthy era and evoking the changing roles for women in postwar America, The Briar Club is an intimate and thrilling historical mystery of secrets and loyalty put to the test." (Amazon)
