FANTOS is the name of our library's Speculative Fiction Book Club, meeting on the second Tuesday of each month.  Speculative Fiction is an umbrella term for stories in the broadly fantastic realms of Alternate History, Fantasy, Horror, Sci-Fi, Magical Realism, etc.  Titles are chosen through a mediated nomination and voting process.  Meetings will be in the Phoenix Room unless we are just so cool that we need more space.  Contact Head of Reference Sarah Lauderdale (slauderdale@hwlibrary.org, 978-468-5577 x619) with any questions.
