Scene of the Crime 2024

An Educational Series for True Crime Enthusiasts

Our popular annual series is back and better than ever with a killer new lineup of crime-related classes that slay.

Disclaimer: Attendees may experience an uncontrollable urge to whisper "It was Colonel Mustard in the library with the candlestick" at inappropriate times. Side effects include an enhanced ability to solve everyday mysteries, a newfound appreciation for blood spatter, and the occasional paranoia that everyone around you is a serial killer.

Series begins January 14. 

Pastime Pursuits 

Explore new hobbies. Learn new skills. Swap craft supplies. 

Is one of your New Year's resolutions to learn new skills? This series for adults will introduce you to a variety of hobbies including hiking, film photography, cosplay, and bobbin lace making.

Added bonus: if you have any craft supplies that you have no use for anymore, you can donate them at Hampton Park Library until January 25, then attend our free Craft Supply Swap Fair on January 27 to pick out something new to you!

An Evening with Lisa Wingate

Forsyth Reads Together 2024

Tuesday, March 26, 7:00 p.m. 

Forsyth Conference Center

Lisa Wingate is the #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of thirty novels and we are thrilled to host her for our 11th Forsyth Reads Together event. 

The book selection for 2024 is her bestselling novel, Before We Were Yours. A gripping story of child abduction and exploitation, Before We Were Yours is even more compelling when you realize it is based on the true crime story of the Tennesee Children's Home Society.
