The last day to pick up your Summer Reading Prizes is Saturday, Aug. 17, by closing. Be sure to come by the library before then to pick up any prizes you have won.
Mystery Book Club
Mystery Book Club meets on the third Wednesday of each month from 4-5 p.m. at the Bella Vista Library to read books from some of the best mystery authors. Fans of all types of mystery/crime/suspense novels are invited to this mysterious club. In August, the club is reading books by Elizabeth Duncan.
Brainteasers
Every third Wednesday of the month at 3 p.m., this group of puzzle-solvers gets together to go over the answers to the month's new packet filled with mind-boggling, thought-provoking puzzles and games designed to keep your brain working and problem-solving. Pick up the packet at the front desk and get to work on this month's puzzles.
