Events & Classes

MEET THE AUTHOR: STEVE HOCKENSMITH

Tuesday, December 29th @ 7:00 PM

Steve Hockensmith is the author of the Holmes on the Range hit book series. Mr. Hockensmith will be talking about the books, writing and afterward he will sign books. Local bookstore Fireside Books will have items available for purchase. As noted by Library Journal when giving a review of the first book in the Holmes on the Range series: "Cross-genre fiction can be a lot of fun when it works. This first novel will keep both mystery fans and afficionados of Westerns grinning from the first page to the last. Two German cowboy brothers, Gustav ("Old Red") and Otto ("Big Red") Amlingmeyer, have been reading the adventures of Sherlock Holmes in magazines and take on the roles of the master detective and his sidekick, Watson, ... and the result is highly recommended for all mystery and Western collections. Hockensmith, whose short stories featuring Big Red and Old Red appear in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, lives in Petaluma, CA."

About the Chagrin Falls Branch

The Chagrin Falls Branch is located at the end of the path of Riverside Park with a view of the Chagrin River. This gives customers and staff a lovely view of the river from inside the library as well as from the reading deck provided by the Friends of the Chagrin Falls Library.

The reading deck is just off the Fiction section of the library and is open when weather permits. It is located on the back of the library, situated away from the street and directly above the park and river. The only access to the deck is through the library.
