What is a cozy mystery and why is the genre so popular? Join community librarian Jenny Pedersen to find out.

There's a mystery afoot at the library: what is a cozy mystery and why are they so popular? Join community librarian Jenny Pedersen to find the clues of what makes up a cozy mystery, untangle the puzzle of what makes them so popular and develop a list of classic, popular and upcoming suspects (er...authors). Participants will help solve the mystery and share favorites of their own.

Jenny Pedersen has worked for Deschutes Public Library in a variety of roles since 2008. She is currently a Community Librarian with a focus on adult services at Downtown Bend Library. Prior to working in libraries, she worked at newspapers and television news stations in Canada, England and the US. She can't believe she waited so long to make the transition to from newsrooms to libraries, where she is able to help people one-on-one with their information needs and challenges as well as talk endlessly about books.
