3. BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP
The next meeting of the BPL Book Discussion group is
Saturday, October 20th at 10:00 a.m. We will be
discussing The Piano Teacher, by Janice Lee. Please visit
the library to pick up a copy of the book!
“Evocative, poignant and skillfully
crafted, The Piano Teacher is more
than an epic tale of war and a
tangled, tortured loved story. It is the kind of
novel one consumes in great, greedy gulps,
pausing (gradually) only when absolutely
necessary.”

4. CHILI CHOWDER COOK-OFF
The Annual Chili Chowder Cook-off
will be held on Saturday, October
27th, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

chowder, plus vote for your
favorites!
