Saturday Storytime

Storytime with Jannie Ho 10am

Join us for our weekly Saturday Storytime. Storytime will run for about 30 minutes and will be geared towards ages 3-6.

About Jannie:

My name is Jannie Ho (pronounced Jane-nee) and I write and illustrate children’s books. I’m also a cartoonist for Chickengirl comics, in which I draw myself as a neurotic hen observing the details of everyday life.

I was born in Hong Kong and moved to Philadelphia at the age of 9. I’ve always loved drawing but didn’t know much about careers in art, other than fashion design. So I moved to New York to study at Parsons School of Design in hopes of being a fashion designer. But during my freshman year, I saw the senior illustration thesis show. I knew that I had found my tribe and I was meant to be an illustrator.

After graduating, I worked as a designer and art director at fun places such as Nickelodeon, Scholastic, and TIME magazine for kids. It was from working at Scholastic Book Clubs that fueled my love for children’s books, and hoped that someday my books would end up in a flyer (it has!)

Besides illustrating for books, magazines, games, stationery, I also write my own stories. Some of them include BEAR AND CHICKEN (Running Press Kids), HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR (Penguin Random House) and THE LOST MITTEN (Holiday House.) I’m also the creator of SUPER CHICKEN AND SHELLY, a semi-regularly featured comic in Highlights High Five magazine.

I live with my mathematician husband and daughter near Boston, MA. I grumble every winter about the snow and the cold here, but this is where I call home. Thank you for getting to know more about me!

Before the Mayflower - An Evening with Jennifer Rose Sinsigalli

Local author, J.L. Rose will share the little-known story of the Mayflower crossing prequel, in discussing her riveting historic novel, ‘Before the Mayflower’. Have you ever wondered what led more than one hundred daring souls to board a ship designed to carry cargo and not people, and travel to a dangerous, New World? Was it really religion?  Did all the people come directly from England and know one another? Is it true these people were poor and uneducated? I invite you to join me on this journey, one filled with unexpected twists and turns leading to that fateful decision to climb aboard. We will discuss details of life in the 17th century, including clothing, trade, food and family. Names like Brewster, Bradford, Alden, and Carver will be in the mix…and actual 17th century artifacts will be on display for you to view. Fifteen years of research wrapped into one fascinating historic novel and discussion awaits!

Author Signing with Barbara E Mawn

Learn More about Barbara Ellen Mawn

Diarist since age 11

37 published academic articles, 2 book chapters and one fictional zine publication (see next page)

I recently (2024) completed an authorized  biography of a very skillful medium, Kevin. V. Coan, who works out of Massachusetts but has had clients from across the globe.

 In case you are wondering, a medium is someone who can communicate with  dead people.

This book differs from other medium books out there as it was written by an observer (that would be me), not the medium himself. It includes the story of his life as well as snapshot stories of other people’s lives and how readings with this medium impacted their ability to cope with loss and grief. It is a testament to his ability as seen through the eyes of his clients.

November Pick: The Art Thief by Michael Finkel

Register Here

About The Art Thief:

Stéphane Bréitwieser is the most prolific art thief of all time.


He pulled off more than 200 heists, often in crowded museums in broad daylight.
His girlfriend served as his accomplice.
His collection was worth an estimated $2 billion.
He never sold a piece, displaying his stolen art in his attic bedroom.
He felt like a king.
Until everything came to a shocking end.

In this spellbinding portrait of obsession and flawed genius, Michael Finkel gives us one of the most remarkable true-crime narratives of our times, a riveting story of art, theft, love, and an insatiable hunger to possess beauty at any cost.

In the Wake of the Mayflower, A Book Talk

Join us at Book Love for an unforgettable event:

In the Wake of the Mayflower, a conversation with Karen Rinaldo and Kevin Doyle

Visual historian Karen Rinaldo and educator Kevin Doyle will give a talk about a book they co- authored titled In the Wake of the Mayflower. The Pilgrim’s adventure is covered in a vignette style providing in depth research of the Pilgrims arrival in the New World up to the development of the 15 Cape Cod towns.


The book was inspired by a commission Ms Rinaldo received in 1994 by the National Association of Congregational Christian Churches , the “Pilgrims Church” , to create the first historically accurate painting of the First Thanksgiving, 1621.


The information in the painting was sited as historically accurate by Mayflower scholars
and endorsed by both the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian and the Society of Mayflower Descendants . It was highlighted in Scholastic Book , Teaching American History with Art Masterpieces.


Their presentation focuses on the early events of the Pilgrims journey and the mutually beneficial relationship with the native Wampanoag tribe that lasted nearly 50 years before differing interests culminated in King Phillips War .


The book has been deemed an “easy read “. Wampanoag Chief Flying Eagle was pleased that “ finally someone is looking at this period of history with a positive eye.
This 45 minute presentation will allow for questions and conversation following the talk.
The book in its second printing and prints of the painting will be available for purchase.

Author Signing with Kendra Vaughn

Author Signing with Kendra Vaughn

About Kendra:

I write Magical. Mystical. Meaningful. fiction.

I’m the product of Boston-raised parents and a blue-collar suburban upbringing. South suburban Boston, that is, where wicked means awesome, and everything from clam chowder to Cape Cod is described that way. I live close to where the Salem Witch Trials happened and where witches today run wild and free.

Magic is alive along the entire east coast of Massachusetts, and you don’t need to be a witch to experience it—even the tourists can smell it. The truth is, once the vibe here fills you, it’s such a wicked awesome experience that you can’t let it go.

About The Plymbury Witch

Nestled along the coast of Massachusetts sits the quaint town of Plymbury, steeped in history, tradition, and an undercurrent of magic. Ravenna Greene is the latest to inherit the mystical Sea Glass Apothecary in this town where stars turned to glass and fell into the ocean. Local legend whispers that after centuries of tumbling, they'd be used to grant wishes by a witch with one green and one brown eye.

But when Pastor Chase Wilkinson arrives, he incites prejudice among the townspeople and a devastating fire that consumes the apothecary. With an unusable shop needing repair and multiple rejections after inquiring about a temporary space to sell her magical creations, Ravenna accepts a room in Chase's church. But with one caveat: no magic. 

Now, caught between two worlds, Ravenna must navigate loyalty to her lineage and a growing attraction to Chase. On one side, her heritage calls to her—a lineage of witches whose influence weaves into the very fabric of Plymbury. On the other side, the ordinary life she craves—far from the weight of her family's magical legacy and the prejudice of this conservative Christian community.

Soon, Ravenna will be faced with a heart-wrenching choice: love or magic.

About Blank:

Pippa Jones is a fortyish former literary sensation who fears she will be a one-hit wonder. After the follow-up book she was almost done writing, Podlusters, had to be tossed (it ended up sharing a plot and title with superstar author Ella Rankin’s summer blockbuster!), she couldn’t write a thing. Months of staring at a blank page made her confidence vanish like a one-night stand. When she finds out that she has only five days left to finish (or rather, start) or repay an advance she’s already spent, Pippa has a brilliantly original idea. Okay, fine, her twelve-year-old son came up with it as a joke, but Pippa and her teenage daughter approved.

Pippa’s not only going to make a bold statement, but she’ll change the book world while she’s at it! Can she pull it off? At this point, she doesn’t have a choice.

When Pippa’s publisher gets intimately involved, it unlocks a series of plot twists she never saw coming. From the courtyards of posh Beverly Hills hotels and Malibu mega-mansions to Brentwood and Santa Monica bookstores, Pippa races against time―in her used Volvo―and discovers more about her career, marriage, family, friends, and herself than she ever could have dreamed up.
