Don't panic! It's the return of Carm O’Neill Classics Club, an all-ages book discussion group!
This month we will be reading and discussing The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams (215 pages, published in 1979).
After that, things get much, much worse.
With just a towel, a small yellow fish, and a book, Arthur has to navigate through a very hostile universe in the company of a gang of unreliable aliens. Luckily the fish is quite good at languages. And the book is The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy... which helpfully has the words DON’T PANIC inscribed in large, friendly letters on its cover.
Douglas Adams’s mega-selling pop-culture classic sends logic into orbit, plays havoc with both time and physics, offers up pithy commentary on such things as ballpoint pens, potted plants, and digital watches... and, most important, reveals the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything.
Now, if you could only figure out the question...
All are welcome. This book is recommended for ages 14 and up. Refreshments will be served. Copies of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy will be available for pickup at the library’s Circulation desk for participants. Space is limited. Please register below.

Ross Macdonald shares colorful stories about making props for the movie-making industry.
“People have gone from not really caring if a prop is period accurate to wanting it to be dead-on,” says Ross MacDonald. And that means even more painstaking work for the prop designer, illustrator and typographer whose encyclopedic knowledge of typesetting and keen attention to detail have made him Hollywood’s go-to for “graphic props” — from posters and passports to magazines and maps.
MacDonald has crafted mop patents for 2015’s Joy, morgue toe tags for Cinemax’s The Knick, the Red Apple tobacco tin for Quentin Tarantino’s 2015 The Hateful Eight and passports and business cards for HBO’s Boardwalk Empire (he pored over Prohibition-era patents to get the size of staples right on documents for the drama).
