By yourself or with friends or family, come and exercise your brain while doing puzzles at Seminole library! Researchers say that doing 25 minutes a day of solving puzzles can raise your IQ by 4 points! Solving puzzles increases brain production of dopamine.

April's book is: Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century by Kim Fu
About the book:
In the twelve unforgettable tales of Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century, the strange is made familiar and the familiar strange, such that a girl growing wings on her legs feels like an ordinary rite of passage, while a bug-infested house becomes an impossible, Kafkaesque nightmare. Each story builds a new world all its own: a group of children steal a haunted doll; a runaway bride encounters a sea monster; a vendor sells toy boxes that seemingly control the passage of time; an insomniac is seduced by the Sandman. These visions of modern life wrestle with themes of death and technological consequence, guilt and sexuality, as they unmask the contradictions that exist within all of us.
For more information or to join and receive a copy of the book, please email Erica at emckenzie@windsorpubliclibrary.com

May's audiobook* is: Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
About the book:
In a small back alley in Tokyo, there is a café which has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. But this coffee shop offers its customers a unique experience: the chance to travel back in time.
In Before the Coffee Gets Cold, we meet four visitors, each of whom is hoping to make use of the café’s time-travelling offer, in order to: confront the man who left them, receive a letter from their husband whose memory has been taken by early onset Alzheimer's, to see their sister one last time, and to meet the daughter they never got the chance to know.
But the journey into the past does not come without risks: customers must sit in a particular seat, they cannot leave the café, and finally, they must return to the present before the coffee gets cold...
To join the "walk 'n' talk" portion of this book club, simply meet at the large flag pole beside the river (at the end of Ouellette Ave.) at the date / time indicated.
NO REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED
*AUDIOBOOK IS AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR HOOPLA APP.

By yourself or with friends or family, come and exercise your brain while doing puzzles at Seminole library! Researchers say that doing 25 minutes a day of solving puzzles can raise your IQ by 4 points! Solving puzzles increases brain production of dopamine. This neurotransmitter is responsible for regulating mood and optimism. It also affects learning, memory, concentration, and motivation. Dopamine is released every time we do a puzzle and even every time we put a piece in the right place! Seminole has a variety of puzzles to choose from suitable for everyone!

May's book is: Victoria by Daisy Goodwin
About the book:
In 1837, less than a month after her eighteenth birthday, Alexandrina Victoria – sheltered, small in stature, and female – became Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. Many thought it was preposterous: Alexandrina — Drina to her family — had always been tightly controlled by her mother and her household, and was surely too unprepossessing to hold the throne. Yet from the moment William IV died, the young Queen startled everyone: abandoning her hated first name in favor of Victoria; insisting, for the first time in her life, on sleeping in a room apart from her mother; resolute about meeting with her ministers alone.
Drawing on Victoria’s diaries as well as her own brilliant gifts for history and drama, Daisy Goodwin, author of the bestselling novels The American Heiress and The Fortune Hunter as well as creator and writer of the new PBS/Masterpiece drama Victoria, brings the young queen even more richly to life in this magnificent novel.
For more information or to join and receive a copy of the book, please email Erica at emckenzie@windsorpubliclibrary.com

Come to John Muir branch to see acclaimed local author Patrick Brode discuss his new release, Traitor be Default: The Trials of Kanao Inouye, the Kamloops Kid (Dundurn Press, 2024). At the end of World War II, a young Japanese Canadian would stand trial and face execution for having committed war crimes and betraying his country. His reputation was such that he was quickly apprehended after the war and faced charges of war crimes. But his subsequent trials became mired in questions as to who he really was. Was he a Canadian forced to serve in the Japanese military machine? Or was he a devoted soldier of his emperor obeying his superiors?

Get up and move while listening to an audiobook!
June's audiobook* is: The Monsters We Make by Kali White
About the book:
It's August 1984, and paperboy Christopher Stewart has gone missing.
Hours later, twelve-year-old Sammy Cox hurries home from his own paper route, red-faced and out of breath, hiding a terrible secret.
Crystal, Sammy's seventeen-year-old sister, is worried by the disappearance but she also sees opportunity: the Stewart case has echoes of an earlier unsolved disappearance of another boy, one town over. Crystal senses the makings of an award winning essay, one that could win her a scholarship - and a ticket out of their small Iowa town.
Officer Dale Goodkind can't believe his bad luck: another town and another paperboy kidnapping. But this time he vows that it won't go unsolved. As the abductions set in motion an unpredictable chain of violent, devastating events touching each life in unexpected ways, Dale is forced to face his own demons.
To join the "walk 'n' talk" portion of this book club, simply meet at the large flag pole beside the river (at the end of Ouellette Ave.) at the date / time indicated.
NO REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED
*AUDIOBOOK IS AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR HOOPLA APP.

June's book is: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
About the book:
Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better?
Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision. Faced with the possibility of changing her life for a new one, following a different career, undoing old breakups, realizing her dreams of becoming a glaciologist; she must search within herself as she travels through the Midnight Library to decide what is truly fulfilling in life, and what makes it worth living in the first place.
For more information or to join and receive a copy of the book, please email Erica at emckenzie@windsorpubliclibrary.com

July's audiobook* is: The Seed Keeper by Diane Wilson
About the book:
Rosalie Iron Wing has grown up in the woods with her father, Ray, a former science teacher who tells her stories of plants, of the stars, of the origins of the Dakota people. Until, one morning, Ray doesn't return from checking his traps. Told she has no family, Rosalie is sent to live with a foster family in nearby Mankato--where the reserved, bookish teenager meets rebellious Gaby Makespeace, in a friendship that transcends the damaged legacies they've inherited.
On a winter's day many years later, Rosalie returns to her childhood home. A widow and mother, she has spent the previous two decades on her white husband's farm, finding solace in her garden even as the farm is threatened first by drought and then by a predatory chemical company. Now, grieving, Rosalie begins to confront the past, on a search for family, identity, and a community where she can finally belong. In the process, she learns what it means to be descended from women with souls of iron--women who have protected their families, their traditions, and a precious cache of seeds through generations of hardship and loss, through war and the insidious trauma of boarding schools.
To join the "walk 'n' talk" portion of this book club, simply meet at the large flag pole beside the river (at the end of Ouellette Ave.) at the date / time indicated.
NO REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED
*AUDIOBOOK IS AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR HOOPLA APP.

July's book is: Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguoro
About the book:
From her place in the store, Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, watches carefully the behavior of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass on the street outside. She remains hopeful that a customer will soon choose her, but when the possibility emerges that her circumstances may change forever, Klara is warned not to invest too much in the promises of humans.
In Klara and the Sun, Kazuo Ishiguro looks at our rapidly changing modern world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator to explore a fundamental question: what does it mean to love?
For more information or to join and receive a copy of the book, please email Erica at emckenzie@windsorpubliclibrary.com

August's audiobook* is: The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michele Richardson
About the book:
In 1936, tucked deep into the woods of Troublesome Creek, KY, lives blue-skinned 19-year-old Cussy Carter, the last living female of the rare Blue People ancestry.
The lonely young Appalachian woman joins the historical Pack Horse Library Project of Kentucky and becomes a librarian, riding across slippery creek beds and up treacherous mountains on her faithful mule to deliver books and other reading material to the impoverished hill people of Eastern Kentucky.
Along her dangerous route, Cussy, known to the mountain folk as Bluet, confronts those suspicious of her damselfly-blue skin and the government's new book program. She befriends hardscrabble and complex fellow Kentuckians, and is fiercely determined to bring comfort and joy, instill literacy, and give to those who have nothing, a bookly respite, a fleeting retreat to faraway lands.
To join the "walk 'n' talk" portion of this book club, simply meet at the large flag pole beside the river (at the end of Ouellette Ave.) at the date / time indicated.
NO REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED
*AUDIOBOOK IS AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR HOOPLA APP.

Get up and move while listening to an audiobook!
September's audiobook* is: Moon of the Crusted Snow by Waubgeshig Rice
About the book:
With winter looming, a small northern Anishinaabe community goes dark. Cut off, people become passive and confused. Panic builds as the food supply dwindles. While the band council and a pocket of community members struggle to maintain order, an unexpected visitor arrives, escaping the crumbling society to the south. Soon after, others follow.
The community leadership loses its grip on power as the visitors manipulate the tired and hungry to take control of the reserve. Tensions rise and, as the months pass, so does the death toll due to sickness and despair. Frustrated by the building chaos, a group of young friends and their families turn to the land and Anishinaabe tradition in hopes of helping their community thrive again. Guided through the chaos by an unlikely leader named Evan Whitesky, they endeavor to restore order while grappling with a grave decision.
To join the "walk 'n' talk" portion of this book club, simply meet at the large flag pole beside the river (at the end of Ouellette Ave.) at the date / time indicated.
NO REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED
*AUDIOBOOK IS AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR HOOPLA APP.

September's book is: Brother by David Chariandy
About the book:
Coming of age in The Park, a cluster of town houses and leaning concrete towers in the disparaged outskirts of a sprawling city, Michael and Francis battle against the careless prejudices and low expectations that confront them as young men of black and brown ancestry -- teachers stream them into general classes; shopkeepers see them only as thieves; and strangers quicken their pace when the brothers are behind them. Always Michael and Francis escape into the cool air of the Rouge Valley, a scar of green wilderness that cuts through their neighbourhood, where they are free to imagine better lives for themselves.
Propelled by the pulsing beats and styles of hip hop, Francis, the older of the two brothers, dreams of a future in music. Michael's dreams are of Aisha, the smartest girl in their high school whose own eyes are firmly set on a life elsewhere. But the bright hopes of all three are violently, irrevocably thwarted by a tragic shooting, and the police crackdown and suffocating suspicion that follow.
For more information or to join and receive a copy of the book, please email Erica at emckenzie@windsorpubliclibrary.com
