Books make perfect gifts, but what to buy? Get recommendations for cookbooks, mysteries, bestsellers and inspirational books. A Holiday Buying Guide will be held on Saturday, November 23, from 2:00-3:30 p.m. in the Keys Community Room (lower level) of the Milton Library, 476 Canton Avenue in Milton. Library Director and avid reader Will Adamczyk, mystery author Hallie Ephron, spirituality columnist Suzette Martinez Standring, and cooking coach Connie Spiros will share personal favorites. The free event, sponsored by the Friends of the Milton Library, is open to the public.

Refreshments will be served and raffle tickets offer a chance to win a “Book Lovers Gift Basket.” Also, the Friends’ Book Shop will be open with many popular bestsellers ($1 to $2.50) and children’s books (two for a $1.00) for sale. All proceeds benefit the Milton Public Library. Get a jump on ideas and book buying for the holidays!
