Program Description

Event Details

OBCeans deserve a book club that's a little bit quirky, just like they are! Join us on the first Monday of the month for a lively discussion of books that might not otherwise be on your radar. A limited number of copies of the month's selection will be available for checkout; just ask at the Circulation Desk. 

For our first read of 2025, we'll dive into Symphony of Secrets by Brendan Slocumb, a mystery/thriller set in the world of classical music with contemporary and historical timelines, and both will keep you on the edge of your seat. Bern is a music historian and the lead expert on America’s most famous composer, Frederic Delaney. When a descendant of Delaney brings Bern sheet music that might be part of a famously lost opera, he thinks it will change history. But there’s a lot more history to uncover when Bern finds a clue to some of Delaney’s dark secrets.
