Join Albert Ruggiero for a book talk that will have you laughing out loud! Albert will share excerpts from Carol Ruggiero’s posthumously published “Pearls from Carol” The book is a collection of short, witty, often surprise-ending tales intended to bring a smile to your face.
Carol Ruggiero passed away in October of 2020, but her charming wit and humor live on through “Pearls from Carol”, a collection of her life’s work meant to bring joy and laughter to readers everywhere.
The book opens with a beautiful short essay about the emotions tied to the human experience like grief, love, and peace. Carol then walks us through the small aggravations and joys of life through her humorous lens- finding meaning in even the smallest of actions even if just for a laugh. Truly a work that creatively twines the experiences of her day-to-day life with universally understood emotions like frustration and love, Carol’s take on the world sprinkles sarcasm and humor onto all of life’s little moments. Carol was part of a local writer’s group for 20 years. Her writing found its way into a national magazine, but when asked to continue publishing her works she joked, “no, I did that already.” When Carol passed, her loving husband, Albert, compiled her essays, her pearls of wit and wisdom, into “Pearls with Carol”. “The writings are short, very funny, always thought-provoking, and just what the world needs in these often sad and scary times. Readers of all types will enjoy the ride,” Albert said.
Carol Ruggiero loved writing, but it was not until a friend invited her to a local writing group that she discovered her true passion and knack for the craft. She also enjoyed ceramics, which she won several awards for. A day in the Ruggiero household consisted of Scrabble, crossword puzzles, and a nightly game of JEOPARDY! Her husband, Albert, still resides in their home in Milford, Connecticut.

The Lions of Fifth Avenue by Fiona Davis
A Good Morning America Book Club Pick and a New York Times bestseller!
It's 1913, and on the surface, Laura Lyons couldn't ask for more out of life—her husband is the superintendent of the New York Public Library, allowing their family to live in an apartment within the grand building, and they are blessed with two children. But headstrong, passionate Laura wants more, and when she takes a leap of faith and applies to the Columbia Journalism School, her world is cracked wide open. As her studies take her all over the city, she is drawn to Greenwich Village's new bohemia, where she discovers the Heterodoxy Club—a radical, all-female group in which women are encouraged to loudly share their opinions on suffrage, birth control, and women's rights.
Eighty years later, in 1993, Sadie Donovan struggles with the legacy of her grandmother, the famous essayist Laura Lyons but the job quickly becomes a nightmare when rare manuscripts, notes, and books for the exhibit Sadie's running begin disappearing from the library's famous Berg Collection.

Join author David Newell, Sr. for a talk on the history of his newly published book Sarah Jane and readings from both Sarah Jane and Petey and Quackers. Copies of the books will be available to purchase.
David Newell, Sr. was born into a large family in New England. He spent the summers, as a young adult, at his father’s family farm in West Wardsboro, Vermont, the place that inspires much of his writing. He is the author of two books, Petey and Quackers, an endearing tale of a pigeon and duck who became friends, based on a true story and the recently published Sarah Jane, a story about his aunt. He based the novel, Sarah Jane, on entries from his aunt Sarah Jane's diaries that were found in a trunk that he inherited from her. His book brings Sarah Jane’s story to life. Along with her husband Sarah Jane and her family struggled to survive during the long, harsh Vermont winters. Even so, they managed to adopt a young runaway slave from Georgia. When the family brings him into their fold, he is eventually embraced by the small Vermont community they lived in. Newell’s retelling of Sarah Jane’s words makes for a humorous, wholesome and good read.
David was raised in Woodbury, Connecticut and taught English at Woodbury Middle School. David owned and ran his family hardware and feed store C. L. Adams, until his retirement. He has been a member of Region 14 Board of Education, and served as a town selectman.

From 2009 until the pandemic of 2020, author Chris Belden ran a weekly creative writing workshop at Garner Correctional Institution, a maximum-security prison in Newtown, Connecticut. Dozens of incarcerated men and one trans woman cycled through the workshop over those years, producing stories, essays, and poems that explored their shattered pasts, their uncertain futures, and the ever-changing meaning of “doing time.” Impressed by the quality and importance of the work, Belden started publishing annual chapbooks to be distributed throughout the prison. Collecting the best of the writing in those chapbooks, CLOSER TO FREEDOM presents a unique and deeply moving look into the world of life behind bars.
Join Chris Belden for a reading from, and discussion of, CLOSER TO FREEDOM. Also in attendance will be contributors to the book who have recently been released.

The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Named Most Anticipated of 2021 by Newsweek, Good Housekeeping, Hello! magazine, Oprah.com, Bustle, Popsugar, and GoodReads! March 2021 Indie Next Pick and #1 LibraryReads Pick
Hidden in the depths of eighteenth-century London, a secret apothecary shop caters to an unusual kind of clientele. Women across the city whisper of a mysterious figure named Nella who sells well-disguised poisons to use against the oppressive men in their lives. But the apothecary’s fate is jeopardized when her newest patron, a precocious twelve-year-old, makes a fatal mistake, sparking a string of consequences that echo through the centuries.
Meanwhile in present-day London, aspiring historian Caroline Parcewell spends her tenth wedding anniversary alone, running from her own demons. When she stumbles upon a clue to the unsolved apothecary murders that haunted London two hundred years ago, her life collides with the apothecary’s in a stunning twist of fate—and not everyone will survive.

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER
"Delightful and absorbing." —The New York Times • "Utterly brilliant." —John Green
One of the Best Books of the Year: The New York Times, TIME, GoodReads, Oprah Daily
On a bitter-cold day, in the December of his junior year at Harvard, Sam Masur exits a subway car and sees, amid the hordes of people waiting on the platform, Sadie Green. He calls her name. For a moment, she pretends she hasn’t heard him, but then, she turns, and a game begins: a legendary collaboration that will launch them to stardom.
Spanning thirty years, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Venice Beach, California, and lands in between and far beyond, Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow examines the multifarious nature of identity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.

Thanks to The Star Library Network the WPL has received solar eclipse glasses for the whole family to watch the Total Eclipse!!
On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada.
A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. People viewing the eclipse from locations where the Moon’s shadow completely covers the Sun – known as the path of totality – will experience a total solar eclipse. The sky will darken, as if it were dawn or dusk. Weather permitting, people along the path of totality will see the Sun’s corona, or outer atmosphere, which is usually obscured by the bright face of the Sun.
After the total solar eclipse on April 8, the next total solar eclipse that can be seen from the contiguous United States will be on August 23, 2044.
Make sure to register for your glasses!

Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
“Remarkably Bright Creatures is a beautiful examination of how loneliness can be transformed, cracked open, with the slightest touch from another living thing.” -- Kevin Wilson, author of Nothing to See Here
For fans of A Man Called Ove, a charming, witty and compulsively readable exploration of friendship, reckoning, and hope that traces a widow's unlikely connection with a giant Pacific octopus
After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.

Horse by Geraldine Brooks
“Brooks’ chronological and cross-disciplinary leaps are thrilling.” —The New York Times Book Review
“Horse isn’t just an animal story—it’s a moving narrative about race and art.” —TIME
A discarded painting in a junk pile, a skeleton in an attic, and the greatest racehorse in American history: from these strands, a Pulitzer Prize winner braids a sweeping story of spirit, obsession, and injustice across American history. Based on the remarkable true story of the record-breaking thoroughbred Lexington, Horse is a novel of art and science, love and obsession, and our unfinished reckoning with racism.

Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • GMA BOOK CLUB PICK
This novel is “irresistible, satisfying and full of fuel” (The New York Times Book Review) and “witty, sometimes hilarious...the Catch-22 of early feminism.” (Stephen King)
A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, Oprah Daily, Entertainment Weekly, Newsweek
Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.
