The month’s selection is And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie.

Owen, gathered 10 strangers in an island mansion for employment or holiday. Due to distance and weather there was no escape as each invitee, accused of hiding a guilty secret, witnessed a murder.
Patrons may sign up for the Book Discussion Club at the Reference desk, where copies of the book are available.
The Library is located at 10482 South Street, Garrettsville, OH 44231.
