About us
The City of Menlo Park's libraries offer a variety of programs, including art events, author talks, info sessions, craft sessions, music events, and more. To make the most of our programming efforts and this meetup page, we’d love for you to get involved. If you come to a program, say hi and let us know you saw it on meetup. If you have an idea for something you’d like to see at the library, send us a message. The library is a great space for community meetups and we’d love to play a role in making those connections!

Mystery Readers Group: Snowed In
·OnlineOnlineMenlo Park Library’s Mystery Readers Group is a different kind of book group: rather than all reading the same book, we share our reading of different books on a particular theme: icy peril, for instance.
This month, join our Mystery Readers Group online to discuss Snowed in Mysteries!
A “snowed in” mystery should feature the classic trope of a duo or group of people getting stuck inside (a house, a train, who knows where) due to a snowstorm.
Cozy up with a warm blanket and a hot cuppa and transport yourself to a snowy landscape with any of the following titles—or perhaps another of your own choosing. Visit our calendar listing for a few leads. So many possibilities – and that’s just the tip of the iceberg!
Join us to exchange book recommendations and discover new favorites with fellow mystery lovers.
Menlo Park’s Mystery Readers Group meets online on the third Tuesday of each month.
