Following an unexpected cancellation last month, the Jane Austen* Book Club is back next Monday, Oct. 13th at 6:30 pm in the McIntyre Room/ Carnegie building.  We will be continuing our look at "Lady Susan", Austen's epistolary novel, published after her death.  If you haven't read the book, don't worry.  We will have copies of the pages for you to read at the meeting.  Tea and cookies will be served.

The Jane Austen Book Club for July welcomed three new fervent Jane Austen fans and celebrated a birthday!  Sara, one of our graduating seniors, was the birthday girl and Joann made a very tasty and tender cake with an inscription for "All Jane Austen heroes wish Sara a Happy Birthday."

The June meeting of the Jane Austen Book Club was great fun as we discussed the varied world of "fan-fiction", published and non-published. Thousands of books have been written about the characters first introduced by Jane - some wonderful, some not so great.  Our three graduating Seniors were congratulated and each presented with a Jane Austen Action Figure to take off to college with them.  Strawberries and cream, chicken salad on mini-croissants, scones with lemon curd, and a lovely Fontina cheese tempted our palates along with several pots of tea.

Did you see the Cit-Pat's Thursday Entertainment section praising the ABC show "LOST?"  If you wonder what all the fuss is about, we have seasons One, Two and Three here at JDL.  Each season counts as one of our two for a dollar DVD price.  I spent most of the Memorial Day weekend catching up with Season Three.  Trust me, the best way to watch these weekly cliff-hangers is all at once!  Check our catalog and prepare to get lost in
