The first book the Mystery Book Club will be reading is The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena. A fast moving, suspense novel that begins with Anne and Marco Conti’s decision to attend a party next door, even after their babysitter cancels. Anne has been suffering from postpartum depression since her daughter Cora was born, so Marco persuades her to attend the party. Returning home, they discover that Cora is missing from her crib! The detective investigating the case, suspects the parents and discovers that no one is telling the truth. A fast-speed story highlighting lies, betrayals and secrets between husbands and wives!
With the rise in Brown County’s COVID positive test numbers and in keeping with our goal of serving everyone in our community, including patrons under the age of 12 who are unable to be vaccinated, the Brown County Public Library has decided it is in our community’s best interests to require everyone over the age of 2 to wear a mask while in the Library. This is in keeping with the current CDC guidelines that recommend wearing a mask in indoor public places for the unvaccinated, as well as the fully vaccinated to protect against contracting or spreading the Delta variant.

Novel Bunch Book Club meetings will be held via Zoom until further notice. To receive the link and password for the meeting please complete the form below.
The library book club, Novel Bunch, is reading The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George. Monsieur Perdu calls himself a literary apothecary. From his floating bookstore in a barge on the Seine, he prescribes novels for the hardships of life. Using his intuitive feel for the exact book a reader needs, Perdu mends broken hearts and souls. The only person he can’t seem to heal through literature is himself; he’s still haunted by heartbreak after his great love disappeared. She left him with only a letter, which he has never opened. (Goodreads)
After Perdu finally reads the letter, he sets sail for the south of France, hoping to heal. He doesn’t travel alone but is joined by a bestselling but blocked author and a lovelorn Italian chef. Travelling along the country’s rivers, Perdu dispenses his wisdom and his books to those he meets along the way and takes the human soul on a journey to heal itself.
Due to Brown County’s current COVID Orange status and concern for the health and safety of our patrons, Dr. Drake’s program has been postponed until 2022 (date to be determined). We hope that you will join us when we are able to reschedule. Until then we hope that you can visit the Indiana Historical Society’s traveling exhibit “Securing the Vote: Women’s Suffrage in Indiana,” in the Library until August 27th.
