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!
Next Meeting:
Thursday, August 12, 2010
12pm - 1pm
Carnegie Room
We'll be discussing The Dive from Clausen's Pier by Ann Packer.
We invite YOU to join us!
Feeling suffocated by the monotony of her life, Carrie longs for a change, for a chance to begin again. That chance is granted to her, terribly, when her fiancé Mike is injured in an accident. This is an intimate book about a life divided into before and after.
Please spend some time over the next month reading this sensitive and complex coming-of-age novel. 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 August 12 ready to chat about forgiveness, strength, loss, and responsibility.
Future Meetings:

All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy
This is the story of young John Grady Cole, the last in a long line
of Texas ranchers. Across the border, Mexico beckons, beautiful and
desolate. With two companions, he sets off on an idyllic, sometimes
comic adventure.

Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult
Sterling is a small, ordinary New Hampshire town where nothing ever
happens -- until the day its complacency is shattered by a shocking act
of violence. In the aftermath, the town's residents must not only seek
justice in order to begin healing but also come to terms with the role
they played in the tragedy.
No November meeting (the second Thursday falls on a holiday)
