Authors Diane Morlan and Patricia Rockwell will be talking about their new books and about the art of writing and publishing mysteries.

If you are looking for a Toys for Tots box to drop off your toys, you can do that when you come by the library. The box is located just inside the children's department.
May your holidays be merry and bright and your free time be filled with great reads, happy music, and fun movies.
Sincerely, Sarah Tobias
Sycamore Public Library |
