Library Book Club
Come and talk about books with us on the second Thursday of each month! We're having our Book Club at lunchtime, so please feel free to bring your own lunch. The Library will provide coffee, cookies, and pop for everyone.
New
readers are always welcome - just read the book and show up!
Our Book Club selections for June and July reflect the theme of our Summer Reading Program, Novel Destinations. Find out more about Novel Destinations here!
Next Meeting:
Thursday, June 9, 2011
12pm - 1pm
Carnegie Room
We'll be discussing A Room with a View by E.M. Forster.
We invite YOU to join us!
Set in 1907, this comedy of manners centers on Miss Lucy Honeychurch, an upper-class young English woman whose inherent passion for life is stifled until a trip to Italy, where she tastes impetuousness and begins to take her life into her own hands.
Please spend some time over the next month reading this classic take on a young woman's struggle against strait-laced Victorian attitudes and social snobbery. You can check the book out of the library if you don't already own a copy (just ask at the Circulation Desk). Come on June 9 ready to chat.
