I reached out to Maria, who wrote a book about her father’s restaurant. She did not charge for the program, but did ask if she could sell books at the end. Join us for an evening with Maria Palmer, author of On the Rocks. On the Rocks chronicles the real-life journey of restaurateur Joseph Constanzo Jr., from his rise to success in the 1990s as an owner of the highly acclaimed Primadonna Restaurant, radio host, columnist, and aspiring politician to his sharp fall in the early 2000s, ending in an investigation and a stint in federal prison. Constanzo is a complex character, whom readers will admire for his confidence and rebuke for his arrogance, will love for his generosity and despise for his egotism, and will learn from in both his attention to detail and lack thereof. This driven, not-your-average-Joe is an unforgettable character who achieves the seemingly impossible but can’t help getting in his own way.

Reads & Roasts: A Literary Coffee Tasting is an interactive and unique program that combines library books with specially chosen coffee blends. Participants sample four distinct coffee varieties, each thoughtfully selected by the Adult Services Librarian to reflect the setting, characters, and tone of four book titles.

This program fosters lively and meaningful discussions about books, coffee, storytelling elements, and the shared joy of reading.

This program invites adults and teens to bring a worn, stained, or torn item of clothing to the library and learn how to mend it in the “visual mending style” with materials provided by the library, including fabric, thread, and needles. Visible mending is the practice of repairing clothing in a way that the mended area becomes a visible and intentional part of the garment’s design. It is often regarded as a very eco- and budget-friendly way to make your wardrobe last for as long as possible, while also making it fun to wear. Participants are given the supplies and instructions for basic mending stitches, and popular ways to visibly mend garments that they can use in during the program and then take home. They are also given information about the practice of visible mending as a statement on environmental stewardship!
