Anthony D. Fredericks will be here to discuss and sign his book, Horseshoe Crab: Biography of a Survivor. Traveling from the Delaware Bay to the Florida Panhandle, this examination is a quest through the natural history and science behind one of nature's oldest and oddest survivors - the horseshoe crab.

With ten eyes, five pairs of walking legs, a heart half the length of their bodies, and blood that can save a person's life, horseshoe crabs have been on this planet for 445 million years - since long before the dinosaurs arrived. This book explores their unique biology and sex life, explains their importance to medical science and migratory shorebirds, and introduces readers to the people who are working to study and protect them.

The event will take place on Saturday, May 19th at 4:00 PM.

You can now shop the Cat's Meow Village line for Rehoboth Beach on our website! Cat's Meow Village commemorates significant structures, points of interest and historic locations in an area. Each piece is handcrafted, traveling through a seven-stage production process, which includes cutting, printing, and individual hand finishing.

We are proud to have picked up this line in the spring of 2010. In addition to carrying all the landmarks that were previously honored with one of these keepsakes, we are committed to introducing new designs on a regular basis.

Please keep in mind that pieces ordered are subject to availability. We will notify you soon after your order is placed if any of the items are currently out of stock.

Our May book club selection is The Tiger's Wife by Tea Obreht. Natalia, a young doctor, sets out in a Balkan country to determine the circumstances surrounding her grandfather's death. With his worn copy of The Jungle Book as her inspiration, she follows the legend he told her of "the deathless man" and uncovers another story, that of the tiger's wife.

The meeting is on May 20th at 3:30 p.m.. When making your purchase, please let the staff member know you are a member in order to receive 10% off books for the discussion. Hot beverages are available at half price for members during discussions. New members are always welcome.
