Anton Room 202This book club is not for the faint of heart. This month we will be joined by a guest speaker who will talk about how murder investigations have changed over the last several decades.
Morbid curiosity, or an interest in unpleasant things, is a human reaction captivating individuals across the nation. True crime media consumption, ranging from books to podcasts to documentaries, has grown rapidly in popularity and this book club leans into that. We may also touch on topics of cults, the paranormal and dark history as we explore the dangerous and more frightening side of the library's collection.
This month we will be joined by a special guest speaker who will talk generally about how murder investigations have changed over time. No specific cases or case details will be discussed.
