Check out our display of “hot” summer reads. Escape the heat and peruse the shelves in our air-conditioned, comfy library. We have loads of bestselling books for every reading preference, as well as audiobooks, music and plenty of films for the whole family.

BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP SEPTEMBER 26, 7 P.M.
September’s book is “Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand” by Helen Simonson. Meet Major Pettigrew: wry, courtly, opinionated and completely endearing. He leads a quiet life, valuing the proper things that Englishmen have lived by for generations, until his brother’s death sparks an unexpected friendship with the Pakistani shopkeeper from the village.

NUREMBERG GETAWAY: OPEN AIR CONCERT AUGUST 5-7
Nuremberg is really a perfect weekend away: fairly close, still in Bavaria, inexpensive by comparison with many other places and has many varied attractions. The famous Kaiserburg (the main castle of the Holy Roman Empire) sits on the top of the central hill within the city walls. Richard Wagner chose this city as the scene for his operatic drama “The Mastersingers of Nuremberg.” Adolf Hitler appreciated the historic credentials and made it the background for his greatest propaganda rallies during the Third Reich. The allies understood that it had become the perfect venue to press charges against some of those same personages at the famous “Nuremberg Trials” following World War II. The Nuremberg Documentation Center is the best museum on the history of the Nazis. The German National Museum is one of the best for the cultural aspects of German History. The entertaining group known as STOMP is performing at the Opera House. This group specializes in making rhythmic noise/sounds with the most pedestrian of everyday items – cans, brooms, cigarette lighters and drums, drums, DRUMS. Price: $250 per adult; Single supplement $45 per night; $125 per child. Includes hotel accommodations, breakfast and transportation.
