- 📚 Over Booked Book Club - S. (Ship of Theseus) by Doug Dorst & J.J. Abrams 📚Geneva Public Library District, Geneva, IL
The 20s & 30s is a perfect time to start up new activities and also try new books! Come join us at the new 20s & 30s book club at Geneva Library!
This month our book club will be tackling a strange one with an even stranger formatting. S. (Ship of Theseus) by Doug Dorst & J.J. Abrams is a book that's not like other books and will be as interesting to read as the story contained within.
A young woman picks up a book left behind by a stranger. Inside it are his margin notes, which reveal a reader entranced by the story and by its mysterious author. She responds with notes of her own, leaving the book for the stranger, and so begins an unlikely conversation that plunges them both into the unknown.

- 📚 Over Booked Book Club - The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai 📚Geneva Public Library District, Geneva, IL
The 20s & 30s is a perfect time to start up new activities and also try new books! Come join us at the new 20s & 30s book club at Geneva Library!
Get your stomach ready for some rumbling, cause this month we're taking a look at books about food with The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai!
What’s the one dish you’d do anything to taste just one more time?
Down a quiet backstreet in Kyoto exists a very special restaurant. Run by Koishi Kamogawa and her father Nagare, the Kamogawa Diner serves up deliciously extravagant meals. But that’s not the main reason customers stop by . . .
The father-daughter duo are ‘food detectives’. Through ingenious investigations, they are able to recreate dishes from a person’s treasured memories – dishes that may well hold the keys to their forgotten past and future happiness. The restaurant of lost recipes provides a link to vanished moments, creating a present full of possibility.

- Sherlock Holmes Mystery NightGeneva Public Library District, Geneva, IL
On the streets of Victorian London, crimes are committed daily. Join us to play the board game Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: Thames Murders & Other Cases together.
"The gaslight streets of Victorian London. Horse-drawn broughams, hansoms, and dog-carts rattle over the cobblestone streets, pulling their passengers through the pea-soup fog. On every street corner, you pass booksellers, clubs, prisons, music halls, doctors, tea houses, and steamship companies. Yet in the shadows and dark alleys of this great city, horrible and cunning crimes are committed daily, confounding the policemen of Scotland Yard. Still, even the most ingenious crime is only a puzzle for the world's only consulting detective—Sherlock Holmes!"
Come down for a full puzzle board game experience and work together to solve the many murders throughout London! Full instructions will be provided, and we'll enjoy a fun and casual atmosphere.
