DIRECTOR’S NOTE
The paranormal investigators from
Tri-C Ghost Hunters will demonstrate
their techniques on October 10; things
will go bump in the night out in the
Library parking lot and in Kopf Family
Reservation on October 15; and local
resident, retired attorney and newlyminted author John Keyse-Walker will
talk about his award-winning debut
novel, Sun, Sand, Murder, on October 18.
But before all of that happens,
Avon-on- the-Lake Garden Club will
transform the Library over the weekend
of September 17 and 18 for a Standard
Flower Show. This prestigious juried
event, entitled, “It Happens in Fall,”
will be meticulously mounted by our
Garden Club and showcase the best of all
things horticultural in the community.
Join these lovers of gardening as the
Library is decked out in the colors of fall
that Mother Nature has so generously
created for us. Garden Club has also been
kind enough to designate a table in the
Children’s department, showcasing the
fall bounty from our Children’s garden,
located in the south bay.
We thank Avon-on-the-Lake Garden
Club for choosing us as their venue for
this special event. The Show’s hours on
both Saturday, September 17 and Sunday,
September 18 are 1:00 pm–4:00 pm.
Please mark your calendar and treat
yourself to an hour or two of enjoyment
and education, delighting in color,
texture, design and simplicity. See you at
the Show!

Sun, Sand, Murder is the award-winning debut
novel of author and Avon Lake resident, John
Keyse-Walker. As a retired attorney, KeyseWalker filled his days traveling, fishing,
kayaking and volunteering, but found he still
had time on his hands, so he began to write.
Two years later he finished Sun, Sand, Murder,
a mystery about a small-island constable who
finds his routine life thrown into tumult as he tries to track
a killer. Keyse-Walker won the Minotaur Books/Mystery Writers of
America First Crime Novel Award. Books will be available for purchase
and signing, following his presentation.
