Adventures in Libraryland: 'Seasons Readings' brings local authors together for book signing Saturday, Nov. 8

With Halloween over, we are officially in the holiday season and some of our thoughts turn toward shopping.

This week, the library offers several options in that pursuit.

Just in time for holiday gift giving, the Marshall Public Library presents "Season's Readings: Local Authors, Book Readings."

There will be signed copies to purchase on Saturday, Nov. 8 from 10 a.m. to noon in the Marshall Public Library Meeting Room.

Featured authors include

--Mark Adderley: "The Hawk and the Wolf,"

--Alice Gensler: "Squiggie's Night Out,"

--Carol Raynor: "Water Carried Uphill: A Sense of Place and Past."

There will also be a special presentation of "Skip-Come-a-Lou," a reprint of a delightful 1926 children's book based in Arrow Rock.

For those who can't make it to Season's Readings, you can give the very best -- the gift of a library card.

Cards for community members who live outside the city limits are $20 per household, giving a whole year of access to books, movies, music CDs and audiobooks.

Stop by the library desk to pick up a gift card for all your friends and family.
