Join the discussion of The Woman in the Library, which is our Once Upon a Crime Mystery Book Club selection for March. Pick up a copy at the Highland Branch.
The beautifully ornate reading room at the Boston Public Library is completely silent one weekday morning... until a woman's scream echoes through the room. Security guards instruct everyone inside to stay put until they determine there is no threat. While they wait for they all-clear, four strangers who had been sitting in the reading room get to chatting and quickly become friendly. Harriet, Marigold, Whit, and Caine each have their own reasoning for being in the reading room that morning- and it just happens that one of them may turn out to be a murderer.

The Highland Branch Library has long played an important role in downtown Highland. From its beginnings in rented storefronts to the Highland Memorial Library built in 1946 to its present location on Jewett and 4th Street, it has been an integral part of the community. The exterior of the library looks nearly as it did when it was first built in 1966. Although it is one of the oldest buildings in the library system, it's newly remodeled interior makes it one of the newest. The library still houses over 65,000 items, but now also features a large meeting room and children's program room, a small group room, and WiFi, along with many public Internet computers. These features, along with the library's bright and inviting atmosphere and convenient location, make the Highland Branch Library a destination for the community and surrounding areas.
