SUMMARY:August 27: High Altitudes and High Stakes: A Miss Marple Mystery with Lucy Foley - VIRTUAL
DESCRIPTION:#1 New York Times Bestselling Author of The Guest List and The Midnight FeastThursday\, August 27\, 2026 |   11  AM  | VIRTUAL \n\n\n\nREGISTER \n\n\n\nJoin 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.  \n\n\n\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.  \n\n\n\nThe notorious actress.  \n\n\n\nThe high-flying politician.  \n\n\n\nThe society wife.  \n\n\n\nThe reckless friend.  \n\n\n\nThe shrewd doctor.  \n\n\n\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… \n\n\n\nJoin us LIVE for a chance to win a copy of Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel! The giveaway link will be in the Resources area under the broadcast screen during the live event. Please ensure you are watching on your library’s webpage for the chance to participate.  \n\n\n\nAbout the Author: \n\n\n\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:September 1: The Democracy We Must Keep: Why the Ideas that Built America Still Matter with David O. Stewart
DESCRIPTION:Award-Winning Historian and Bestselling Author of Impeached and The Summer of 1787Tuesday\, September 1\, 2026 |  11 AM | VIRTUAL \n\n\n\nREGISTER \n\n\n\nJoin us as we chat with award-winning historian David O. Stewart about his newest work\, The Democracy We Must Keep\, and the question he explores throughout the book: What did America’s founders say about democracy\, and can we remain true to their vision for America? \n\n\n\nTwo hundred fifty years ago\, passionate men attempted to create something the world had never seen before: a nation built not on kings or armies\, but on ideas where the people ruled. \n\n\n\nIn The Democracy We Must Keep\, historian David O. Stewart takes readers inside the nine key documents that shaped the formation of the United States—from Patrick Henry’s thunderous cry for liberty to the carefully crafted design of a government chosen by the people\, with limits on all officials holding power under the Constitution. \n\n\n\nThrough the words of seven visionary founders—Washington\, Jefferson\, Madison\, Hamilton\, Gouverneur Morris\, and others—Stewart shows how a fragile experiment in self-government took shape. \n\n\n\nThese men were not saints. They argued passionately. They worried that the new nation might fall apart. Yet together\, they forged the principles that must still define American democracy: \n\n\n\n\nPower must be limited.\n\n\n\nLeaders must answer to the people.\n\n\n\nIndividual rights must be protected by law.\n\n\n\n\nAs the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary\, The Democracy We Must Keep urges readers to rediscover core ideas that built the nation—and to consider what it will take to protect them. \n\n\n\nRegister today to gain a deeper understanding of how American democracy started\, why it still matters\, and the active role each generation must play to uphold it. \n\n\n\nAbout the Author: \n\n\n\nDavid O. Stewart has published eleven award-winning and best-selling books of history and historical novels. In 2023\, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Washington Independent Review of Books. His most recent fictional series\, the Overstreet Saga\, is inspired by family stories his mother told. He lives in Maryland with the light of his life\, Nancy Floreen; they have three children and six grandchildren.

DESCRIPTION:Invitation to ROTK September 12 event\n\n\n\nEastsound\, WA – On Saturday\, September 12\, Long Live the Kings (LLTK) is hosting our annual Return of the Kings Celebration to welcome our iconic Chinook salmon back as they return home to spawn at Glenwood Springs on Orcas Island. The free community event will run from 11:30 am to 3:00 pm.  \n\n\n\nLong Live the King staff\n\n\n\nTake in the scenic beauty of Eastsound Bay while enjoying guided tours of our hatchery and fish ladder\, fish dissection demonstrations\, a beer garden\, delicious food\, live music\, local vendors\, and family-friendly activities.   \n\n\n\nLLTK welcomes attendees of all ages to the celebration. This year\, the event will have a dedicated area for children’s activities. We’re excited to introduce young salmon stewards to the wonder of salmon returns and to inspire guests of every generation to connect with our region’s keystone species.  \n\n\n\n “Every year when the Chinook come back to Glenwood Springs\, it’s a good day\,” said Mike O’Connell\, Facility Manager at the Glenwood Springs Field Station. “These fish matter twice over. They keep local fishing going\, and they’re food the Southern Resident orcas need to survive.”  \n\n\n\nMultiple food vendors will be on-site providing lunch and snack options for purchase. Additionally\, a 21+ beer garden will be available with pours from local breweries and wineries. A shuttle will be available to take guests to and from the ferry (seating is limited). To guarantee a spot on the shuttle\, please RSVP to the event.   \n\n\n\nFor more information about the Return of the Kings Event or to RSVP\, please visit  www.lltk.org/return-of-the-kings/. \n\n\n\n### \n\n\n\nAbout Long Live the Kings \n\n\n\nLong Live the King’s mission is to restore wild salmon and steelhead and support sustainable fishing in the Pacific Northwest.
