Community Book Club
The Asphodel-Norwood Public Library Book Club meets every third Thursday 7pm. at the Westwood Branch. Everyone is welcome to attend. No sign up or registration is necessary. Limited copies of this month’s selection are available at the check out counter of both branches.
Selected members take turns leading the Club and provide some background information about the book to get things flowing. All members are encouraged to share their opinions and a lively discussion ensues over coffee.
Check out the suggested list for the 2010-2011 season:
September - The Life of Pi by Jan Martel
October - Dropped Threads (Book 2) edited by Carol Shields and Marjorie Anderson
November - Song of the Humpback Whale by Jodi Picoult
December - Wild Stone Heart by Sharon Butala
January - Hatbox Letters by Beth Powning
February - Biography of Norman Bethune by Adrienne Clarkson
March - The Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kidd
April - Earthly Joys by Philippa Gregory
May - Lambs Quarters by Barbara MacLean
June - A Question of Blood by Ian Rankin
This list offers a variety of fiction and non-fiction from various genres, and may be amended as the Book Club proceeds.
"And this is the real pleasure of reading: not just the search for facts and information, which we can get just as well from other forms of media, but the connection to another human mind and heart that we can only experience when we enter a world that someone else has created."
Lots to do at your Library!
There are always events going on at both branches. Check out what is coming up this month!
