Event Details

Are you fascinated by the “dark and mysterious” world of true crime? 

Join us at Parkway Library for our True Crime Book Club, where we delve into gripping tales of real-life mysteries, criminal investigations, and the psychology behind some of the most notorious crimes. Each month, we explore a different book that takes us deep into the minds of criminals and the detectives who bring them to justice.

This month, we are excited to dive into Boyington Oak: A Grave Injustice by Mary S. Palmer, who will be joining us as our special guest speaker. This is an event you won't want to miss!
