The Friends of the Walpole Town Library will hold their annual meeting, potluck and program at Town Hall this Thursday evening, April 19, at 6:00 p.m.  The potluck is open to the public, and the whole town in invited.

The Friends will have a short, painless business meeting and recognize our library's fine staff and Board of Trustees.  Then this year's program will feature Carolyn Norback, Ellie Phillips and Bob Rhodes discussing why myteries grab so many readers and what mystery authors are their favorites and why.  Should be interesting, fun, and lead many of us to some new reading adventures!

Pat Fowler of Village Square Booksellers in Bellows Falls will hand out a list of selected mysteries she's carrying now, with emphasis on New England mystery writers, and we'll all have a chance to share a mysterious thought or two over dinner. There'll even be some door prizes, but they remain a mystery for now.

Reservations are not necessary, but you need to bring a dish to share. In keeping with the evening's theme, what you bring can remain a mystery until you arrive.  So, mark your calendar NOW for Thursday evening, and plan to share an enjoyable, tasty and mystery-filled evening with us!  Chuck Bingaman (recently and mysteriously elected President of the the Friends of the Walpole Town Library!)
