Book Cover of The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper by Phaedra Patrick

"The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper" by Phaedra Patrick

"In this poignant, charming debut, 69-year-old Arthur Pepper stopped engaging with life a year ago, when his wife of 40 years died. But the discovery among her things of a charm bracelet he'd never seen before prompts a quest to discover the origins of the bracelet and all of its charms. His adventures take him from his home in York through the English countryside, and on to Paris and India. If you're looking for a feel-good novel about personal transformations along the lines of 'The Little Paris Bookshop,' you won't go wrong with 'The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper'." - NoveList Plus

In programs for adults, teens, and children, customers can learn from speakers and from each other as they explore local history, thought-provoking reads, needlework and crafting, after-school and family STEM/Maker events, storytelling and a whole lot more. Computers and computer classes, WiFi, scanning and faxing make the Springfield-Lakemore Branch Library a one-stop shop for educational, informational, and entertainment opportunities.
