• Kids Book Club (week 2): 4 p.m. Tuesday. The club will meet weekly for four weeks on Tuesdays at 4:00 p.m., and is recommended for children who are in grades 1-3.

Food, refreshments, and gaming supplies will be provided. No experience is necessary to participate. Players who have their own dice, rulebooks, miniatures, etc., are welcome to bring them. Registration and a liability waiver are required for participants of this event. Both are available at the library’s circulation desk.

• Coloring & Conversation: 6 p.m. Thursday. Many adults have rediscovered the joys of coloring as a way to relax and combat stress. The club, which is done in partnership with the Boyle County Cooperative Extension office, meets on the second Thursday of the month in the Mahan Gallery.

In this comedy from 1992, two teenagers from New York are accused of murder in rural Alabama while on their way back to college. Unable to afford a good attorney, they call the cousin of one of the boys — an inexperienced, loud-mouthed lawyer — who comes to defend them.
• Chess Club: 2-4 p.m. Nov. 10. All ages and skill levels are welcome to come play (or learn how to play) the game of chess. This event will be held in the Community Room.
