Whodunnit Book Club 2025-2026

 Book Group - Who Dunnit Book Corner

You never know what will happen when a group of mystery fans get together to discuss their latest book. There's sure to be food, laughter, lively discussions and different takes on the same passage. The books vary, from cozies to hard boilers, Victorian to present day, or paranormal mysteries to historical espionage. We all read the book and each month take turns bringing food, beverages and research on the author. Sometimes our research provides a delightful surprise, such as a chance to speak with the author. The Old Town Public Library Mystery Book Club meets once a month on Thursdays, September through May from 5:30pm-7:30pm. All are welcome.

Fright Club - First Quarter 2026

 Book Group - Fright Club

You never know what chills and thrills await when horror fans gather to dive into their latest read. There is bound to be shivers, laughter, spirited debates, and wildly different interpretations of the same haunting passage. The books range from gothic classics to modern psychological terrors, supernatural tales to true crime inspired frights. Each month we all read the same book and come together to share our thoughts, snacks, and sometimes even eerie trivia about the author or story. Every meeting is a chance to discover something new and maybe even get a good scare.

The Fright Club Book Club meets the last Monday of every month from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm.
All are welcome... if you dare.
