Join Jessie on Tuesday via Facebook for story time. 

Thanks to a ‘Keep Kids Reading’ grant From the Town Pump Charitable Foundation, Books In Search Of Kids came to life in the spring of  2022. It found it's home at the Hot Springs Mt. Farmers Market. Our mission is to provide books for children free of charge.  Outside of the Farmers Market, stop in to the Library and ask. 

     Books In Search of Kids is at  the Hot Springs Mt. Farmers Market Saturdays 10am-2pm. 

   The book that will be discussed on Thursday, August 13, 2026 at 3pm is "The Book Club for Troublesome Women", by Marie Bostwick.

" By 1960s standards, Margaret Ryan is living the American woman's dream. She has a husband, three children, a station wagon, and a home in Concordia--one of Northern Virginia's most exclusive and picturesque suburbs. She has a standing invitation to the neighborhood coffee klatch, and now, thanks to her husband, a new subscription to A Woman's Place--a magazine that tells housewives like Margaret exactly who to be and what to buy. On paper, she has it all. So why doesn't that feel like enough?

Margaret is thrown for a loop when she first meets Charlotte Gustafson, Concordia's newest and most intriguing resident. As an excuse to be in the mysterious Charlotte's orbit, Margaret concocts a book club get-together and invites two other neighborhood women--Bitsy and Viv--to the inaugural meeting. As the women share secrets, cocktails, and their honest reactions to the controversial bestseller The Feminine Mystique, they begin to discover that the American dream they'd been sold isn't all roses and sunshine--and that their secret longing for more is something they share. Nicknaming themselves the Bettys, after Betty Friedan, these four friends have no idea their impromptu club and the books they read together will become the glue that helps them hold fast through tears, triumphs, angst, and arguments--and what will prove to be the most consequential and freeing year of their lives."
