Book Club – Champion Public Library
Join friends at the Champion Public Library for a monthly book club on Thursday, December 4th at 5:30 PM. Conversation, fellowship, and refreshments will be centered on popular book titles for adults to discuss. This month’s book selection is “A Redbird Christmas” by Fannie Flagg.
Deep in southernmost Alabama, along a lazy, winding river, lies Lost River, a sleepy community that time has forgotten. After a startling diagnosis, Oswald T. Campbell leaves the cold, damp Chicago winter to spend what he believes will be his last Christmas in warm, welcoming Lost River. There, he meets the postman who delivers mail by boat, the store owner with a broken heart, and the ladies of the Mystic Order of the Royal Polka Dots Secret Society, who do clandestine good works. He also meets Jack, a little redbird at the center of this tale. During that magical Christmas, something so amazing happens that those who witness it never forget. Once you experience the wonder, you too will never forget A Redbird Christmas.
Participants are encouraged to check out the book by visiting the Champion Public Library at 601 Railway Express in Ardmore or call (580) 223-3164. The Champion Public Library is a branch of the Southern Oklahoma Library System.

Medicare Seminar – Love County Library
Join others at the Love County Library for a monthly book club at 6:00 PM on Tuesday, November 18th. Conversation, fellowship, and refreshments will be centered on popular book titles for adults to discuss. This month’s book selection is “Vera Wong’s Guide to Snooping (on a Dead Man)” by Jesse Q. Sutanto.
Ever since a man was found dead in Vera’s teahouse, life has been good for her. Her shop is busy, and her son Tilly is dating Officer Selena Gray, who Vera had bothered before during the murder investigation. Even though Vera feels a little bored and wants more excitement, everything changes when she meets a worried young woman looking for her missing friend. While watching Tilly and Selena’s cat, Vera finds a briefcase that belongs to Selena with a file about the strange death of social media influencer Xander Lin, who was found in Mission Bay. Since the police could not figure out who he was, Vera is set on solving the case, especially because it will impress Selena, her future daughter-in-law.
