Book Club

During April we will be reading People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks. The book club will meet Monday, April 21st at 6:30pm. Refreshments will be provided. Copies of the book can be picked up at the library. We hope to see you there!



Brooks tells a believable and engaging story about sympathetic but imperfect characters—"popular" fiction demands all of that—but she also does the business of literature, exploring serious themes and writing about them in handsome prose. She appears to be finding readers and admirers in growing numbers, and People of the Book no doubt will increase those numbers.
