Started in 2002, we meet once a month and read a variety of books ALL CHOSEN by book group members. Why are we called the Basement Bookies? — you’ll have to come to a discussion to find out. We encourage you to try this casual, friendly, and exciting group. The library does the best it can to have enough copies of the book each month for book group members to borrow.

Culturally Curious: Perennial Muses: Flowers in Art
2026-03-12 18:30 - 19:30 | NH
Have you ever wondered about the hidden messages blooming within famous paintings? Throughout the history of art, flowers have been more than just beautiful decorations – they’ve served as powerful symbols, carrying secret meanings known to artists and their patrons. From the purity of lilies in Renaissance Madonnas to the fleeting nature of life represented by wilting bouquets in Dutch still lifes, each petal and stem tells a story. This fascinating exploration of flora in art will unveil the language of flowers, revealing how these delicate blooms have shaped our visual culture and continue to inspire artists – and flower lovers! – to this day.
