The Orrville Public Library has activities for all ages scheduled in the month of February.

No registration is needed. Stop by Jan. 27 through Feb. 8 any time the library is open.

February Book Club

As people age, they often start to feel invisible or not appreciated. So it is with Billie, Mary Alice, Helen and Natalie — four of the deadliest assassins in the world. They soon realize they can’t simply retire from their profession, and they find themselves targeted by one of their own. Will they be able to work together and get out alive?
