This month we will be reading "The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern as part of our volunteer celebration party - Booked: Night Circus taking place at the library on April 11!


#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night.

Written in rich, seductive prose, this spell-casting novel is a feast for the senses and the heart.

Read the book, then join us on Friday, April 11, at 7:00pm for a night of fun, laughter, and magic when the PTL Night Circus has come to town! Step into a world of wonder and delight inspired by The Night Circus novel by Erin Morgenstern as we celebrate the incredible volunteers and community who support our library!
