Schools and Libraries

January 8, 2025

From: Stratford Library

Winter/Spring Series Set Thru June 2025

The Stratford Library has announced that its “Books Over Coffee” program will continue for live, in-person meetings in the Lovell Room through June 2025. The monthly book discussion program, hosted by Stratford Library staffer Linda LiDestri, has been a popular staple at the library for over 40 years. It is free and open to the public.

The library continues to offer the latest in current titles and topics and on Wednesday, January 29 Erin Morgenstern’s enchanting new novel, The Night Circus, will kick-off the winter/spring series. Two star-crossed magicians engage in a deadly game of cunning in this spellbinding novel that captured the world's imagination. Part love story, part fable The Night Circus defies both genres and expectations.
