Happy Indigenous People’s Day! Braiding Sweetgrass is one of my all-time favorite books and I love rereading it this time of the year as I harvest my fall garden and take long walks in the woods. There are so many wonderful books by Indigenous authors. Which is your favorite?

Aesop’s is open today - we hope to see you! 10am-6pm.

Virtual - Author Leslye Penelope Discusses "The Inevitable Undoing of Zahara Douglass"
Wednesday, October 21 from 7:00—8:00 PM

Back by (very) popular demand, we are thrilled to welcome author Leslye Penelope to our virtual stage! We hosted Leslye years ago and we had such a great conversation so we expect we'll have another great time. This time, Leslye will be discussing her new book, "The Inevitable Undoing of Zahara Douglass" which she tells us is not strictly a romance but with a strong romantic subplot - you know what? We'll take it!

Save your sister, doom the world. For five years, Zahara Douglass has been haunted by her sister’s impossible disappearance. Now, in December 1999, with the world on the brink of chaos, Zahara sets out to find her sister no matter the cost in this twisty and compelling modern fantasy. Sounds awesome, right? We hope you can join us for this fun discussion!

This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library and we're thrilled to be collaborating with a multitude of MA Libraries to bring this program to our communities. We are also thrilled to be partnering with the Ashland Senior Center for this event.

It’s that time of year when a chill in the air and dark evenings make me want to curl up under a blanket and embrace a spooky story. Join us this Tuesday as we discuss Carrie, the book that launched Stephen King’s prolific career. We’ll be enjoying seasonal brews at Clover Road in Ashland and discussing this groundbreaking horror novel. Whether you’re a lifelong Stephen King superfan or this is your first trip into his world, you won’t want to miss this discussion!

It’s a quick read, so there’s no excuse not to join us. Grab your copy, start reading, and come ready to talk all things Stephen King.
📚❤️😱👻
Also, there is a new series (8 episodes) which premiered last night… save it until you’ve read the book and then we can compare and contrast the book, original movie and new series!
