Please note: All branches of the Monroe County Public Library will be closed on Monday, January 20, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day
In 1880, former President and Civil War General Ulysses S. Grant was on a world tour when he stopped in Key West on his way to Cuba – and the town welcomed him with a big, late-night reception.
Each week, staff from the Monroe County Public Library recommend favorites from the collection.
Welcome to TVM’s student Winter 2024 Art Showcase! Treasure Village Montessori (TVM) is a public VPK through 8th grade charter school in Islamorada, that merges public and Montessori education in a student-centered learning environment. Treasure Village Montessori students VPK through 8th grade studied the works of Dean Russo, Paul Klee, Wyland, Charles Schulz and local artist Pasta Pantaleo.
During this unit students used oil pastels, watercolors, stamping, ink, pastels and mixed media. Each class studied a different artist and animal, learning the background and art style of the master artist. Students created work capturing our local animals in the Florida Keys from turtles, birds, coral, manatees, dolphins, keys deer, and our beloved local animal shelters.

The Big Pine Book Lovers Book Club invites you to their next monthly meeting on Saturday, January 18th to discuss The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley.
Synopsis: Jess needs a fresh start. She’s broke and alone, and she’s just left her job under less than ideal circumstances. Her half-brother Ben didn’t sound thrilled when she asked if she could crash with him for a bit, but he didn’t say no. But then he’s not there when she shows up at his surprisingly lavish Paris apartment. The longer Ben stays missing, the more Jess starts to dig into her brother’s situation, and the more questions she has. Ben’s neighbors are an eclectic bunch, and not particularly friendly. Everyone’s a neighbor. Everyone’s a suspect. And everyone knows something.
All are welcome to attend the discussion. For more information please contact BPKLibraryfriends@gmail.com
