----About this month's book selection----
I'll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamra
A masterful true crime account of the Golden State Killer—the elusive serial rapist turned murderer who terrorized California for over a decade—from Michelle McNamara, the gifted journalist who died tragically while investigating the case.
"You’ll be silent forever, and I’ll be gone in the dark."
For more than ten years, a mysterious and violent predator committed fifty sexual assaults in Northern California before moving south, where he perpetrated ten sadistic murders. Then he disappeared, eluding capture by multiple police forces and some of the best detectives in the area.
Three decades later, Michelle McNamara, a true crime journalist who created the popular website TrueCrimeDiary.com, was determined to find the violent psychopath she called "the Golden State Killer." Michelle pored over police reports, interviewed victims, and embedded herself in the online communities that were as obsessed with the case as she was.
At the time of the crimes, the Golden State Killer was between the ages of eighteen and thirty, Caucasian, and athletic—capable of vaulting tall fences. He always wore a mask. After choosing a victim—he favored suburban couples—he often entered their home when no one was there, studying family pictures, mastering the layout. He attacked while they slept, using a flashlight to awaken and blind them. Though they could not recognize him, his victims recalled his voice: a guttural whisper through clenched teeth, abrupt and threatening.
I’ll Be Gone in the Dark—the masterpiece McNamara was writing at the time of her sudden death—offers an atmospheric snapshot of a moment in American history and a chilling account of a criminal mastermind and the wreckage he left behind. It is also a portrait of a woman’s obsession and her unflagging pursuit of the truth. Framed by an introduction by Gillian Flynn and an afterword by her husband, Patton Oswalt, the book was completed by Michelle’s lead researcher and a close colleague. Utterly original and compelling, it is destined to become a true crime classic—and may at last unmask the Golden State Killer.

We are a group of craft enthusiasts who get together to enjoy our hobbies, watch a great movie, eat some snacks, and perhaps do a little socializing. I'm sure your couch/chair is very, very comfortable, but why not spend a few hours on a different couch/chair and share space with the best folks on the planet, CRAFTERS!
September movie is: Accepted
Register here!
The movie will start around 6:30 pm, but we'll be there at 6 pm to ooohhh and ahhhh over what everyone is making and grab a cozy spot to get settled in to.
Feel free to bring snacks! We will have snack trays available (includes a soda, box of candy, and bag of popcorn) for a donation of $5 (just to cover costs; any profits get donated to the library (non-profit 501(3)(C) facility).

Sunday Sip & Stitch
Welcome to Sunday Sip & Stitch!
Registration required - register here!
Sewing is so much more fun (see what I did there?!) shared with others! Join us once a month on Sunday morning for a quilt-along, or just open sew if quilting isn't for you. We'll enjoy coffee or tea while we work our way through a pre-selected quilt pattern in the company of other amazing sewists. If quilting isn't your jam, grab your W.I.P (work in progress) and hang out with us while we fill our metaphorical cups with crafts and out literal cups with coffee.
Feel free to stay the entire time or come and go as you please.
Please note that this is NOT a quilting class. Our events do not include instruction but we are happy to offer advice and assist with troubleshooting or decision making!
Attendees will need to bring their own sewing machine, notions and materials for quilting. We will have communal pressing and cutting areas (but feel free to bring a tabletop mat and iron and your own cutting mat if you'd like) and a selection of scrap cotton.
Tiffany, our co-host, was gracious enough to create a spreadsheet of the needed fabrics (there are a lot of colors in this quilt) with a fat quarter conversion so you can get a feel for how much of each color you need. If you'd like a copy of that spreadsheet just shoot me or Tiffany a message and we'll get it to you!
If quilting is not your thing, or if this pattern doesn't tickle your fancy - please feel free to come and work on whatever your heart desires. Our intent is to create a welcoming, collaborative, communal sewing space for anyone interested.
Sewing can be a solitary hobby, but it doesn't have to be!

Teen Book Club 4th Wednesdays
Every 4th Wednesday of each month, we’ll explore, read, and discuss our latest reads. Ages 13-18 welcome!
August book selection: Celestial Monsters by Aiden Thomas
---
New York Times-bestselling author Aiden Thomas returns to the beloved world of The Sunbearer Trials in Celestial Monsters, a heart-stopping duology finale, in which three young semidioses travel through a dark monster-infested world, facing down chaotic Obsidian gods, in a quest to save their friends and return the sun to the sky.
Teo never thought he could be a Hero. Now, he doesn’t have a choice.
The sun is gone, the Obsidian gods have been released from their prison, and chaos and destruction are wreaking havoc on Reino del Sol. All because Teo refused to sacrifice a fellow semidiós during the Sunbearer Trials.
With the world plunged into perpetual night, Teo, his crush Aurelio, and his best friend Niya must journey to the dark wilderness of Los Restos, battling vicious monsters while dealing with guilt, trauma, and a (very distracting) burgeoning romance between Teo and Aurelio. Determined to rescue the captured semidioses and retrieve the Sol Stone, the trio races against the clock to return Sol and their protective light. With it, order can be restored.
The future of the whole world is in their hands.
