Join us for a conversation with New York Times, Washington Post & USA Today bestseller Sarah MacLean, who wrote her first novel on a dare and never looked back. She is now one of today’s most influential voices in romance fiction.

Registration is required; the book is available for pick up at the Beaumont Branch’s front desk. If you have any questions, please email mstout@lexpublib.org.

Visit us weekly for gardening tips and to get advice for your gardening problems! Master Gardeners will also provide free seeds (or plants, when available) and gardening education resources.
