VPL has plenty of programming scheduled for this week; there's something for everyone! See you at the library!

Spotlight on Library Services: Tummy Time

VPL holds weekly Tummy Time Thursdays at 10am; this is a time for our youngest readers ages birth through 18th months to come, make friends, and enjoy our library! We read stories, sing songs, and spend time bonding. This is also a great way for new parents to connect with other new parents! Hope to see you there!

Author Spotlight: B.A. Paris

"I live and write from my cottage in Hampshire, England, and often travel to discuss my novels with readers around the world.

Before becoming an author, I spent some years working as a trader in an international bank in France before re-training as a teacher and setting up a language school with my husband. We have five daughters and recently moved back to England to enjoy life in the countryside.

When I’m not writing, I enjoy spending time with the other man in my life. He’s well over 80 years old and is a little wrinkly, but Henry the tortoise really is great company.

I am inspired to write by things that happen in my day-to-day, by people I have known and people I meet. My imagination then usually goes into overdrive and, before I know it, a story comes to life on the page.

At the moment, I’m writing my next psychological thriller. Stay tuned for future announcements about its release!"
