MONDAY, July 23rd @ 7pm: Part 3 ~ THE CORPSE WORE TARTAN
"He's Dead!...There's a dead guy in the Number Two Storage Room!" Great! Just great! It's not enough that someone stole a brooch from the surly MacMillan's. It's not enough that it is snowing and storming outside, trees are down and The Spruces Hotel in Moosetookalook, Maine is running in generator power, blazing fireplaces, and a whole lot of free hospitality.
Now there's a dead guy too. The plot and the snow continue to thicken!

The book was published in England on 14 October 1892 by George Newnes Ltd and in a US Edition on 15 October by Harper. The initial combined print run was 14,500 copies.

The Bicentennial Man
Andrew seems to be just another NDR domestic robot created by U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men. Purchased by the Martin family and given his name, he serves them faithfully for generations; but Andrew isn't like his countless brothers...
Isaac Asimov's Bicentennial Man was written in 1976 as part of a project to celebrate the U.S. bicentennial. The project never materialized, but Asimov’s novella went winning the prestigious Hugo award the same year, and later served as the basis for a 1993 novel, The Positronic Man (written with Robert Silverberg) and a 1999 movie, The Bicentennial Man, starring Robin Williams.
Presented by Bear Silvershade, starting at 7 p.m. SLT in Seanchai Library.
MONDAY, July 16th at 7pm: Part 2 ~ THE CORPSE WORE TARTAN
Nobody appreciates, like Liss MacCrimmon, how "Unruly" a gathering of Scots can be. If it wasn't the prickly, variously truculent members of the Scottish Heritage Appreciation Society, its stolen brooches, and maybe more!
Liss and her friends continue to diligently weather the coming storm, while the air of intrigue gathering around them is as thick as the scent of haggis gone bad -- and that's pretty dang think! Join Caledonia for more mysteries in plaid as the snowfall thickens, and so does the plot, at The Spruces in Moosetookalook, Maine.

The bagpipes are blaring at The Spruces, Moosetookalook's finest hotel, reopened just in time to host the Burns Night Supper, an annual celebration of Scotland's beloved poet, Robert Burns. In the midst of the long Maine winter, the festivities are just the thing to give the hotel a much needed boost - and to bring fresh business to Liss' shop. But when the Scottish Heritage Appreciation Society arrives on the scene, they bring more than a hunger for haggis and a passion for plaid. Then a fierce blizzard hits, trapping everyone - angry Scotsmen, hapless hotel staff, and Liss herself - inside ...
