Meet Fiona Davis!
New York Times Best Selling Author is joining Artful Reads this month!
New York Times bestselling author Fiona Davis will be joining our February Artful Reads discussion!! She is the author of eight best-selling historical fiction novels translated into 20 languages, They are all set in iconic New York City buildings, including The Stolen Queen, The Magnolia Palace, and The Lions of Fifth Avenue, which was a Good Morning America book club pick and an Artful Reads pick we read a couple of years ago and loved!
In preparation for her virtual visit and based on her recommendation, we are reading two of Fiona's works. In January, we talked about The Magnolia Palace, and on February 11th at 4:30, we will be discussing her latest book, The Stolen Queen. We have teamed up with the Dunlap Public Library since 2020 to discuss "arty" reads of various genres. We meet virtually every month, the second Wednesday of the month. We would love to have you join us for our monthly discussions or just Fiona's visit!
You do not have to live in the Dunlap Library district to be a book club member: we actually have a couple of members who live on the East Coast! ADVANCE REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Please email mweyeneth@dunlaplibrary.org for a meeting invite. Please register at least one hour prior to the book club.
Create...
You don't have to be an experienced artist to make art! Each of us has a creative spirit within us, explore that with one of our classes.
Taught by artists who are represented by Creative Soul, our small classes provide an opportunity for individualized instruction.
Connect...
Creative Soul is about experiences and started from the desire to do three things:
-
Promote the work of local artists by offering guests the opportunity to interact with them through classes and special events.
-
Give people an artful opportunity to connect and make moments and memories with those they cherish.
-
Make a difference in our community by supporting the causes we are passionate about, including veterans, nature, Dunlap library, and school needs. We are proud to support 16 local non-profits through donation of merchandise, funds, and volunteer hours.
