Mysterious Book Club
Palisades Branch Library
The Mysterious Book Club will meet and discuss Jacqueline Winspear’s first book in the Maisie Dobbs series, titled “Maisie Dobbs,” on Tuesday, August 16, beginning at 3:30 p.m. at Palisades Branch Library.
“Maisie Dobbs started as a maid in an aristocratic London household when she was 13,” according to a synopsis on the Palisades Branch Library website. “Ten years after the end of World War I, Maisie opens her own office as a private investigator. She knows from experience that coincidences are meaningful, and truth elusive. Her very first case involves suspected infidelity but reveals something very different.”
The discussion, which will take place on the library’s patio, is geared toward teenagers, adults and seniors.

Eligibility requirements for candidates, according to a statement from the school, include not being a parent of a Pali High student for the entire term of the seat, living in the communities served by the school and not being an “interested party” (meaning they have not been paid by the school in any way over the last 12 months).

Terms, pending BOT approval, will begin August 23.
