What could go wrong being roommates with your ex-finacé's fiancés ex? Check out a copy of "Funny Story" by Emily Henry from the Round Lake Area Public Library and get ready to talk about it on November 5 at the Round Lake Area Park District in the monthly Read & Rec Book Club.

[image description: The cover of the book "Funny Story" by Emily Henry is on the right third of a white space, surrounded by a thin purple frame with scrollwork corners. The cover is blue and features a woman and a man sitting on barstools, casually drinking from tall glasses with straws. A bouquet of flowers sits at the woman's elbow, and on the other side of the counter, a pitcher of drink is next to the man. The man's posture is dejected and the woman's is mildly annoyed. A scalloped badge of green overlaps the edge of the book and says: A library and park district book club. To the left, text in purple and green says: Read and Rec, Thursday, November 5, 1 PM; Checkout at Round Lake Area Public Library; Meet at Round Lake Area Park District. Logos for the library and park district are used to accent those locations in the text.]

Unwind on a Monday night. Sign up for Crystal Bowl Meditation and treat yourself to an hour of relaxation with the soothing sound of crystal singing bowls.

[image description: A muted green field with white lettering describing the event and a QR code leading to the library calendar sits on the left two-thirds of the graphic, separated from a photo on the right third that shows a person's white-sleeved arms and hands playing two white crystal bowls with rounded mallets. The line between the information and the photo is gently waving and accented with a deeper green. The scalloped, round library logo is in the upper right corner. Text says: crystal bowl meditation.

Dating can seem complicated and inspire a lot of questions. Teens can learn about communication, boundaries, and the warning signs of unhealthy behaviors in a talk on healthy dating presented by A Safe Place-Lake County. Sign up for Teen Talk: Healthy Dating Starts Here at 5pm, Friday, October 9.

[image description: The words "A Presentation by A Safe Place Lake County" are at the top of background that is lined like notebook paper. A photo of four teens hanging out in front of a building is angled in the upper right corner. Beneath a callout with the words "Teen Talk: Healthy Dating Starts Here," there are oversimplified drawings of two cell phones. Emerging from each screen, are similarly styled drawings of a woman and man holding half a heart toward their counterpart, and a QR code that leads to the library calendar is on the left of this illustration. On the right, beneath the photo and next to the logos of the library and A Safe Place Lake County, event details are hastily circled by aquamarine lines. The text says: Teens 14-18. Friday, October 9, 5 pm. Registration Required.]

Whether you delight in the darkness or prefer something a little sweeter, we've got something for you. In today's episode of the Quick Picks podcast, Nikki will offer suggestions on the darker side (Tricks), and local author Michelle Habrych will offer lighter fare (Treats) for whatever kind of reader you are.

[image description: The background is divided vertically with a photo of bats against a purple sky on the left and bowls of colorful candy on the right. Centered over the background is a large black podcast-style player interface. At the top, the text reads “New Episode.” Inside the player, the episode title "Trick or Treat” appears on the right, with a progress bar and playback controls beneath it. On the left side of the player is the episode artwork labeled “Quick Picks,” showing a hand reaching toward a row of books on a library shelf. In the lower left corner is the Round Lake Area Public Library logo. On the lower right is a green button that says “Listen on Spotify.”]
