Jungle Terry and his animal friends will be here at the library on Monday June 16 at 3 pm! Registration is required for this entertaining and educational fan-favorite show.

Please note this is not an author program but rather a (fun) book club discussion with other book worms.  

The virtual book club will discuss A Town with Half the Lights On by Page Getz, a quirky and charming epistolary novel about a family of culture-shocked Brooklynites transplanted to Goodnight, Kansas. In Goodnight there are more wind chimes than people, so it is easily the talk of the town when Sid Solvang and his family move into a falling down Victorian home they inherit. While adjusting to life and the differences compared to their previous home in Brooklyn, the Solvang Family finds themselves the new owners of the May Day Diner, a restaurant that is under threat of demolition. Told through letters, notes, diary entries and a town newspaper, A Town with Half the Lights On proves that home isn’t just the place you live, family isn’t just your relatives, and it’s almost never easy to find the courage to do what’s right.  

Get an introduction to the architectural history of Hudson with a tour of the downtown area focusing on the different styles and history of area homes and buildings, including the clock tower, Brewster Mansion, town hall and more.

Remember to wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing.

Leah Litman, professor of law and former Supreme Court clerk, brings her signature wit to the question of what’s gone wrong at the Supreme Court. How did we get here and what can we do about it? In Lawless, she gives us the tools we need to understand the law, the dynamics of courts, and the stakes of this current moment. Publisher’s Weekly characterizes the book as a “clear-eyed and alarming view of a court captured by far-right conspiracy theories.”
