Explore the places in "Frozen River" by Ariel Lawhon with a Google Earth Tour. We will discuss the book "Frozen River" and the basics of how to use Google Earth. Snacks will be provided.

This month, Vinton's Adult Book Club will travel back in time with "Frozen River" by Ariel Lawhon.  In this novel set in 1789, Martha Ballard is summoned to examine the body and determine cause of death of a man found frozen in a river. But when a local physician undermines her conclusion, Martha is forced to investigate the shocking murder on her own. Learn more about the places that Martha Ballard visited when we learn how to use a Google Earth Tour that will compare 1789 Maine with the Maine of today.

About the branch

In 2020, the Fontenot Memorial Branch, named in honor of the late Jimmy Lee Fontenot of Vinton was damaged during the two hurricanes. Prior to 2020, the former Capital One building on Loree St. was purchased with plans to open a new Vinton Branch.

On Oct. 24, 2022, the new branch opened! In addition to offering the same services as the old location, this branch offers our first-ever drive-thru and gaming PCs, as well as a study room, a conference room, and a community room.
