Pamper Yourself -- Winter Reads -- October 24th

Smell the spicy scent of fall, notice how the days are darkening early. Mendocino is settling into autumn and winter. What will you do with those long, dark nights in front of the warm fire?

Cozy your favorite easy chair nearer to the fire, position a light and grab yourself a mug of coffee or chai. And hey, you've been good, why not the perfect piece of dark chocolate to accompany the indulgence? The only thing missing from this scenario is a really good book.

Ann Kilkenny owner and proprietor of the Mendocino Book Company is joining the Ukiah Library on October 24th at 7 pm to let us all know about new fall books and over-looked gems to help you to pamper yourself.

Join us and discover new authors and new adventures under Ann's sure guidance.

County Librarian, Melanie Lightbody will host.
