Event Series: Tell a Yarn...

Tell a Yarn...

August 20, 2025 @ 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm EDT

What could be better than working on your favorite knitting or crocheting project while someone reads out loud to you?

Join our yarn circle/adult story time for your dose of productive relaxation! On Wednesday, August 13, we'll be starting A Murderous Business by Cathy Pegau — a sharp, captivating mystery about two queer women in early 1900’s New York, solving murder and fighting the heteropatriarchy (description from publisher.) The best part is that our yarn circlers get a chance to listen to the book before it is published on September 16th!

Mariah Fredericks, author of The Lindbergh Nanny, calls it "a fresh and engaging mystery set in 1910s New York. Margot Harriman is making the transformation from boss's daughter to head of the company when she discovers a dead body and a mysterious note at the office. Readers will root for Margot, as her pursuit of the truth leads her to aspiring investigator Rett Mancini and Shiloh, a captivating magician's assistant with a way with locks and human hearts."

Bring your yarn projects to the Library on Wednesday afternoons from 1:30 to 3 pm in the Sheffer Gallery. We'll read aloud while you work on your project. Or you can just listen — no working necessary! No registration is required, and no yarn instruction provided.
