Sherlock Holmes has been fascinating audiences for 130 years. What is it about this character that has made him a world famous phenomenon? Join Sherlockian expert Robert Fritsch at 7pm in the library’s Meeting Room for all 'All Things Sherlock'. You will learn about Sherlock Holmes's main characters, including Holmes himself. Highlights of the four novels and 56 short stories will be briefly examined, with emphasis on the women in Holmes life.
