Join us for the first regular meeting of our new book club, Books & Banter! This month, we will be reading, "Practical Magic" by Alice Hoffman.

A New York Times and National Bestseller
A 1998 Warner major motion picture starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman

The Owens sisters confront the challenges of life and love in this bewitching novel from New York Times bestselling author Alice Hoffman.

For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in their Massachusetts town. Gillian and Sally have endured that fate as well: as children, the sisters were forever outsiders, taunted, talked about, pointed at. Their elderly aunts almost seemed to encourage the whispers of witchery, with their musty house and their exotic concoctions and their crowd of black cats. But all Gillian and Sally wanted was to escape.

One will do so by marrying, the other by running away. But the bonds they share will bring them back—almost as if by magic...


What to Expect 

Books & Banter meets on the third Tuesday of the month at 5:30 pm in the Eben Jones Classroom (unless otherwise noted). Books will be available at the library circulation desk. If you would like an alternative format (large print, audio CD), please let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.

We want to hear from you! Fill out this reader survey to choose the monthly book themes for November, December, and January! https://forms.gle/ZpgjEN7Q4yN5uZro8

If you have questions or would like to be added to the Books & Banter email list, contact Rebecca at renman@peterboroughnh.gov or call the Help Desk: 603-924-8040.
