DIY Jar Terrariums Wednesday, August 26th 6:00pm - 7:30pm The mason jar terrarium is a humble horticultural icon. Make and take home your very own terrarium in a jar! All materials will be provided. A terrarium is a miniature garden grown inside a covered glass or plastic container. In the presence of light and heat, water evaporates from the plants through transpiration and from the soil. Since it is an enclosed environment, when the water vapor hits the side of the container, it condenses. Once enough water accumulates or the temperature decreases, the condensation will then precipitate down the sides of the container back into the soil. Registration is required. |

by Anna McCallie In this witty and heartfelt debut, a woman's impulsive journey across the pond after a broken engagement leads her to a new love--and a new version of herself. Seeking a fresh start after leaving her cheating fiance, Abby McIntyre makes a series of spontaneous decisions. She quits her job. She books a one-way flight to the UK. She even gets bangs! Newly arrived in Liverpool, she lands a job with the Mersey Football Club and meets Lachlan Ramsay, the recently recruited Scottish star midfielder. Both lonely in a new city, the pair bond quickly, and Abby finds it nearly impossible to deny their chemistry--despite the nagging guilt she feels about Lachlan's mysterious wife who didn't relocate with her husband. When Abby's housing falls through, Lachlan insists she move into his massive penthouse. As they spend almost every waking moment together, Abby wonders if it's possible that the world-famous footballer could be falling for her, too. But with her job and his marriage dependent on them staying firmly in the friend zone, can Abby risk being caught offside? Crackling with witty banter and palpable sexual tension, Abby Offsides is at once a smoldering, slow-burn romance and a nuanced exploration of one woman's journey to reclaim her own dreams and desires after years of living life on autopilot. |

by Nick Cutter On a remote island in the Canadian wilderness, five elderly volunteers from different walks of life are given a tantalizing offer: to stall their biological clocks or even reverse them, restoring their lost youth. The chance to put death on pause--forever, perhaps. The remarkable secret lies in the high-tech harnessing of an ancient and extraordinary biological agent...one with no conscience, yet possessed with a single-minded purpose that has helped it persist for eons: the will to survive. The dark heart of unbridled human ambition finds its apex in an unholy experiment that now tests the limits of both creator and subject, eclipsing all bounds of morality and sanity ...
