Genealogy Speaker: Ronda Randall⁠
Thursday, December 11th | 1:00 PM⁠
Porter Hall | Skidompha Public Library⁠
⁠
Have you ever thought about taking a DNA test and wondered how the results might be useful to you in researching your family tree, identifying a long lost ancestor, or helping law enforcement solve a cold case? Victim advocate and family researcher Ronda Randall, licensed clinical social worker, will be speaking on these topics. She will also discuss her years of working on the Bear Brook cold case out of Allenstown, New Hampshire – the troubling story of one woman and three girls’ unidentified bodies found in barrels. Their identities were unknown for decades, but the final victim was recently identified after 40 years.⁠
⁠
This talk is free, and is sponsored by the Skidompha Genealogy and Local History Center.

Monthly Book Club: The Teller of Small Fortunes⁠
Wednesday, December 17 | 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM⁠
Zoom | Registration Required⁠

Join Skidompha librarians for a relaxed conversation about our monthly book selection! For October, we will be reading Julie Leong's The Teller of Small Fortunes. All discussions occur over Zoom, so please email [email protected] to register.⁠

—⁠

Tao is an immigrant fortune teller, traveling between villages with just her trusty mule for company. She only tells “small” fortunes: whether it will hail next week; which boy the barmaid will kiss; when the cow will calve. She knows from bitter experience that big fortunes come with big consequences…⁠

Even if it’s a lonely life, it’s better than the one she left behind. But a small fortune unexpectedly becomes something more when a (semi) reformed thief and an ex-mercenary recruit her into their desperate search for a lost child. Soon, they’re joined by a baker with a “knead” for adventure, and—of course—a slightly magical cat.⁠

Tao starts down a new path with companions as big-hearted as her fortunes are small. But as she lowers her walls, the shadows of her past close in—and she’ll have to decide whether to risk everything to preserve the family she never thought she could have.
