SUMMARY:Online Author Talk: Dannah Eve
DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn how to stay sharp\, stay ready\, and stay safe in every aspect of your daily life with author and safety expert Dannah Eve’s book\, Street Smarts: Trust Your Instincts\, Outsmart Danger\, and Stay Safe in a World That Isn’t. \nDannah Eve has always been street smart\, and for the past several years\, she has been sharing her advice\, self-defense strategies\, and safety tips with millions of engaged social media followers. With the encouraging tone of a savvy older sister\, she has built a platform that teaches women how to think like a threat by mastering situational awareness\, calculated deception\, and the art of always being ready. This is survival on your terms. These are just a few of the rules she lives by: \n\nLie to survive: You don’t owe a stranger your truth. Especially if it compromises your safety.\nOn a date: Don’t rush to share your personal details! A Tinder match is not yet a trusted person.\nLiving alone: Keep a pair of men’s shoes by the door; you’ll be a less-obvious target.\nOn vacation: Walk with confidence and a strong stride; a distracted person is an easy target.\nAt school: Research and use the available campus shuttles and safety services.\nOnline: Phishing emails\, fake texts\, scare tactics – don’t bite\, don’t click. If it’s “urgent” or too good to be true\, it’s probably a scam.\n\nIn an unpredictable and often frightening world\, Dannah Eve shows you how to weaponize your intuition and back it up with real-world safety tactics that actually work. Because when you build confidence\, you operate with authority\, and that ripple effect can protect more than just you. \nRegister now to take part in this empowering discussion. https://libraryc.org/waterfordlibraryNY/185092/register \nAbout the Author: \nDannah Eve is a trusted safety expert and digital creator known for her sharp instincts\, real-world expertise\, and engaging content that empowers women to navigate life with confidence. As a former D1 athlete and Summa Cum Laude graduate in Criminology and Psychology\, she combines academic knowledge with street smarts to deliver life-saving insights to millions of followers across her social media platforms. Dannah’s content is equal parts informative and relatable\, making safety feel approachable rather than overwhelming. Her motto\, live aware\, not in fear\, is the foundation of her mission.

SUMMARY:Golden Leaves Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the Golden Leaves Book Club\, run by Shaunty McMillin\, owner of Golden Leaf Books here in Waterford. This is a book club focused on fantasy and romantasy reads. Light refreshments will be provided. No registration necessary. Please note that this book club takes place after normal library hours. We will be discussing A Court of Frost and Starlight  by Sarah J. Maas on August 17th from 6-7. Limited copies are available for pickup at the Waterford Public Library during the month of August. \nFeyre\, Rhysand\, and their friends are still busy rebuilding the Night Court and the vastly altered world beyond\, recovering from the war that changed everything. But Winter Solstice is finally approaching\, and with it\, the joy of a hard-earned reprieve. \nYet even the festive atmosphere can’t keep the shadows of the past from looming. As Feyre navigates her first Winter Solstice as High Lady\, her concern for those dearest to her deepens. They have more wounds than she anticipated-scars that will have a far-reaching impact on the future of their court. \nBridging the events of A Court of Wings and Ruin with the later books in the series\, A Court of Frost and Starlight explores the far-reaching effects of a devastating war and the fierce love between friends. \n

SUMMARY:Online Author Talk: Lucy Foley
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a thrilling conversation with acclaimed author Lucy Foley as we delve into her brand-new Miss Marple mystery\, Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel. \nHigh in the Swiss Alps\, accessible only by a single\, winding railway\, stands the luxurious Grand Alpine Hotel. With glorious mountain views and exclusive access to powdery slopes\, it draws guests from far and wide. \nThe notorious actress.  \nThe high-flying politician.  \nThe society wife.  \nThe reckless friend.  \nThe shrewd doctor. \nBut not everyone is here for a winter holiday. Beneath the champagne and furs\, dark histories simmer; old grudges emerge like cracks in the ice. And someone is watching from the shadows. A polite\, unassuming woman with an extraordinary mind: Miss Marple. When a body is found and a blizzard cuts off all escape\, only Miss Marple can connect the clues before the killer strikes again. Because it isn’t a question of who has a motive\, but who’s next… \nRegister now to hear Lucy Foley discuss the twists\, secrets\, and suspense behind this chilling new Miss Marple mystery! https://libraryc.org/waterfordlibraryNY/187078/register \nAbout the Author: \nLucy Foley is a No.1 Sunday Times\, Irish Times and New York Times bestselling author. More than 10 million copies of her books are in print worldwide\, and several are currently being adapted for the screen. She is a Waterstones Thriller of the Month author\, a three-time nominee at the British Book Awards\, and The Guest List was a Reese’s Book Club selection and winner of the Goodreads Choice Award for Mystery Thriller. As a life-long Agatha Christie fan\, Lucy has drawn immeasurable inspiration from the Queen of Crime. She was one of 12 writers to contribute to Marple\, a collection of short stories featuring the beloved detective. And in Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel\, she was inspired to transport Miss Marple – her favorite Christie creation – to the glamorous post-war setting of the Swiss Alps\, in a mystery that feels gloriously escapist yet utterly relevant to our times.

SUMMARY:Golden Leaves Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the Golden Leaves Book Club\, run by Shaunty McMillin\, owner of Golden Leaf Books here in Waterford. This is a book club focused on fantasy and romantasy reads. Light refreshments will be provided. No registration necessary. Please note that this book club takes place after normal library hours. We will be discussing A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas on September 21st from 6-7. Limited copies are available for pickup at the Waterford Public Library during the month of September. \nNesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud\, swift to anger\, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will\, she’s struggled to find a place for herself within the strange\, deadly world she inhabits. Worse\, she can’t seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it. \nThe one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian\, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre’s Night Court keeps him constantly in Nesta’s orbit. But her temper isn’t the only thing Cassian ignites. The fire between them is undeniable\, and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other. \nMeanwhile\, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last war have forged a dangerous new alliance\, threatening the fragile peace that has settled over the realms. And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta facing their haunting pasts. \nAgainst the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty\, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance-and healing-in each other’s arms. \n
