Why Do We Love Crime Stories? Canton Library To Investigate

CANTON, CT — A unique program will take place Tuesday night at the Canton Public Library, with the history of "true crime" in Connecticut as the topic.

While free, registration for the program is required and library officials said there are still slots available.

It will be presented by representatives of the Hartford-based Connecticut Museum of Culture and History.
