Events
We support the library with a number of events through-out the year,
including our popular book sales and author luncheons.
Death, Dessert, & Desire
Join The Friends on Thursday, April 12, 2012 at 2 PM for Death, Dessert & Desire. Our panel discussion has been expanded to include some of SW Florida’s exciting new romantic suspense writers.
Judith Rock is the author of two historical novels set in Paris in the 17th century. The first one is “The Rhetoric of Death” followed by “The Eloquence of Blood”. Lynette Hallberg has written several contemporary romantic suspense novels. Jean Harrington’s series books follow the exploits of Grace O’Malley, a feisty heroine whose exploits take place in the young British colony on these shores in the 17th century. Judith Rocks' book is set in Paris, Lynnette Hallberg's book takes place in New Orleans and Jean Harrington's novel unfolds in SW Florida --- so we have something for everybody.

Phyllis
Smallman's love of books led to various library jobs in southern
Ontario towns like Brantford, Grimsby, and Ancaster, where she hid out in
the stacks reading mysteries. She then turned her hand to writing them,
winning the first Arthur Ellis award for best unpublished manuscript, which
lead to a publishing contract. Smallman lives in Englewood, Florida six
months of the year and writes mysteries about the Mangrove coast of Florida.
