Kensington's Cozy Club

Cozy Mystery: Comedic murder mysteries that show you what happens when you put a quilter, a candy shop owner, a baker, a pet sitter or some other wholly inappropriate sleuth on the case to solve a crime. More precisely, cozies are lighthearted murder mysteries with plenty of humor, no graphic violence or sex, and an amateur sleuth (or sleuthing team) who lives in some sort of close-knit community and solves crimes while juggling a day job, a hobby or other responsibilities.

Are you crazy for cozies? Join the club! Become a member of Kensington's Cozy Club at the Fredericktown Community Library.

Ask for a Cozy Card at the circulation desk.
Every time you check out a new cozy mystery, ask the librarian to punch your Cozy Card.
Once you’ve earned 10 punches on either card, fill out your name, address and email. If you need more space, feel free to write your information on a separate piece of paper and enclose it along with the completed Cozy Card. Mail the completed card to Kensington (the address is on the card!).
Once Kensington receives it, they will send you a FREE book plus a new Cozy Card in 2-3 weeks!

A library is many things to many people. It can be a place of sanctuary, for time alone in a little reading nook. It can be the safest place in the world to socialize and make new friends in reading groups and at special events. It's up to each individual to use the library in the best way that suits their needs. You're never bored when your nose is in a book." ~Sybrina Durant~
