SUMMARY:The Spitfire Grill
DESCRIPTION:Percy\, a troubled young woman on parole\, yearns for a fresh start and heads to the small Wisconsin town of Gilead. She finds work at the dried-up town’s only eatery\, The Spitfire Grill. As Percy discovers her own path to redemption\, she awakens the town’s capacity for healing and hope. With soaring melodies and Midwestern charm\, this folk musical is a celebration of kindness and community. “The country-flavored tunes and lyrics are rendered with the kind of conviction and expertise that make them transcendent.

SUMMARY:MatchMakers Book Club: Summer Romance
DESCRIPTION:Like reading romance? Join the library for our summer pop-up book club featuring romance reads and craft time! Enjoy light discussion and crafts over your beverage of choice. Bring a project you’ve been working on\, mending\, or peruse idea books from the library and coloring pages. \nABOUT THE BOOK – Summer Romance by Annabel Monaghan \nBenefits of a summer romance: it’s always fun\, always brief\, and no one gets their heart broken. \nThere aren’t enough labeled glass containers to contain the mess that is Ali Morris’s life. Her mom died two years ago\, then her husband left\, and she hasn’t worn pants with a zipper in longer than she cares to remember. She’s a professional organizer whose pantry is a disgrace. \nNo one is more surprised than Ali when the first time she takes off her wedding ring and puts on pants with hardware—overalls count\, right?—she meets someone. Or rather\, her dog claims a man for her in the same way he claimed his favorite of her three children: by peeing on him. Ethan smiles at Ali like her pants are just right—like he likes what he sees. The last thing Ali needs is to make her life messier\, but there’s no harm in a little Summer Romance. Is there?
