Sioux City True Crime: Sensational Stories on November 7

Categories: Adults, Events, Library News, Local History|

This session explores a wide-ranging collection of local cases pulled from different decades of Sioux City history. Moving beyond a single theme or time period, the presentation examines murders, mysteries, and shocking crimes that either captivated the community or slowly disappeared from public memory. Some stories may be familiar, others almost forgotten, but each offers a glimpse into the violence, tragedy, and human drama that have woven through Sioux City across generations and the lasting impact these events left behind. Presented by Sarah, Local History Librarian Specialist with the Sioux City Public Library.

November’s Open Book Club: Someone is Walking on Your Grave by Mariana Enriquez

Categories: Adults, Events, Library News, Open Book Club, Reader Services|

In this rich book of essays—“excursions through death,” she calls them—Enriquez travels through North and South America, Europe and Australia, visiting Paris’s catacombs, Prague’s Old Jewish Cemetery, New Orleans’s above ground mausoleums, Buenos Aires’s opulent Recoleta, and more. Enriquez investigates each cemetery’s history and architecture, its saints and ghosts, its caretakers and visitors, and, of course, its dead.
