FANTOS is our 2025 relaunch of the 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.  We have chosen titles for our first three meetings but are looking for suggestions to vote on for future group reads.  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.
