This Thursday at 6pm the Loosely Bound Book Club will meet and discuss the bestseller  “Where the Crawdads Sing” by Delia Owens.  This book has been on the New York Times best seller list for the last 71 weeks.  It was also the most checked out book in our Winnefox Library System in 2019. The story goes…..For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast.
