January is always
cold. Blisteringly, bone-achingly, cold; the kind of cold where you just want
to go home and get in a hot bathtub just to get your whole body warm at the
same time. Libraries are places many folks come in to warm up, charge their
phones, use the wi-fi, read the paper, etc. But this January, we have a special
program designed to blast your winter blues with some tropical heat! Based on
the success we had hosting an Intro to Swing dance class last summer, we are
kicking off our Winter/Spring Adult programs on January 12th from 3
to 4PM with a very special collaboration! Rowan Public Library, Salsarita’s
Fresh Mexican Grill, and Spotlight Dance Company are coming together to bring
you “Salsa, Chips, and Salsa”. Our Stanback Auditorium will be the location for
a totally free and totally fun event with delicious snacks from the local and
fresh eatery, along with totally spicy Salsa moves taught by an instructor from
Salisbury’s Spotlight Dance Company. Our space is limited because you’ll need
room to move around, so please call 704-216-8248 and register.
If you can’t make it
to our free dance class, then at least you can swing by or log on and pickup
these hot thriller titles to keep your heart pounding and your palms sweaty
this January. First up we’ve got some psychological suspense! The authors
behind last year’s smash hit The Wife
Between Us, Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, have got their next title An Anonymous Girl coming out in January.
It’s already in the catalog, so go ahead and get on hold for it! There will
undoubtedly be a wait list!
Another thriller with
a lot of buzz behind it is Looker by
Laura Sims. This debut novel is all about the obsession with celebrity culture
and what an unhappy person will do to feel close to the object of her
obsession, especially when the obsession lives just a few doors down…This
Hitchcockian thriller shows us why envy is a mortal sin.
Our last thriller to
highlight is The Night Agent by
Matthew Quick. This timely tale is the story of young FBI agent, Peter
Sutherland, whose only job is to staff the night desk in the White House
Situation Room, and to monitor one emergency phone line… which never rings.
Until it does. And the mysterious call that comes in starts a desperate hunt
for a deeply-buried Russian mole at the highest levels of power. Peter must
evade assassins, spies, and the FBI to uncover the truth. Find out if he does!
Be sure to check it out!
As always, our staff
here at RPL is ready and waiting to put your next favorite book right into your
hands! Call, email or swing by and let us do what we do best!
