The Friends of the Jamestown library will host Christine Carr, author of “Mother Daze: Tales from the Imperfect Playground,” on Wednesday, Dec. 9, at 7 p.m.

Her book contains stories of misplaced toys and temper tantrums. With her experiences as a physical education teacher, Carr offers observations that will ring true with all mothers. This book offers a virtual high five to women for the gazillion things they manage to miraculously get done.

The program is free and open to the public. Call 423-7280 for more information.
