Monday Morning Book Group

Legacy of Ashes

"For the last sixty years, the CIA has managed to maintain a formidable reputation in spite of its terrible record, burying its blunders in top secret archives. Its mission was to know the world. When it did not succeed, it set out to change the world. Its failures have handed us, in the words of President Eisenhower, 'a legacy of ashes.' (Excerpt from Legacy of Ashes)

Please join us Monday, October 13th at 10:00 a.m. for this discussion!!

The Monday night book discussion group will meet Monday, September 29th at 6:45 p.m. with a discussion of "The Maltese Falcon" by Dashiell Hammett. Please stop by the library in August to pick up your copy of "The Maltese Falcon."

BigRead "I couldn't be fonder of you if you were my own son. But, well, if you lose a son, it's possible to get another. There's only one Maltese Falcon..." In 1915, Dashiell Hammett began working with the Pinkerton Detective Agency. Later he wrote about some of his bizarre encounters in what would become the most popular detective stories of his time.

This August, the library presents The Big Read, a project that seeks to connect the community through literature by encouraging all of Mount Horeb to read Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon. We will pass out 60 copies of the book to residents who wish to participate in the event on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Discuss The Maltese Falcon on Monday, September 29th at 6:45 p.m.
