Love talking about books after you've finished them? Then Spoilers Book Club is for you! This Saturday, June 27, at 2pm we're diving into "Hamnet" by Maggie O'Farrell, the acclaimed novel that imagines the family tragedy behind one of Shakespeare's greatest plays.

We'll read the book in advance, watch the film adaptation, and compare notes on what changed, what worked, and which version stole the show. Come ready to discuss every twist, character, and ending—because at this book club, spoilers are always welcome.

No sign-up required! Extra copies of the title are available at the library for checkout!
