Director Reads Non-Fiction Book Discussion Group
The February selection is Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Woman's Prison by Piper Kerman, a compelling, often hilarious and always compassionate look at life in a woman's prison. Sent to prison for a ten-year-old crime, Ferman explores what it's like behind bars and describes the varied and surprising community of women living with her under exceptional circumstances.
The group will meet on Tuesday, February 7th at 7:30 pm or Thursday, February 9th at 2pm.
The Group will be facilitated by Library Director, Tim Murphy and will meet in the Administrative Office. All are welcome. The book will be available at the Circulation Desk.
READERS ROUNDTABLE BOOK GROUP
Our next title will be The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters.
The Little Stranger follows the strange adventures of Dr. Faraday, the son of a maid who has built a life of quiet respectability as a country doctor. One dusty postwar summer in his home of rural Warwickshire, he is called to a patient at Hundreds Hall. Home to the Ayres family for more than two centuries, the Georgian house, once grand and handsome, is now in decline-its masonry crumbling, its gardens choked with weeds, the clock in its stable yard permanently fixed at twenty to nine. But are the Ayreses haunted by something more ominous than a dying way of life? Little does Dr. Faraday know how closely, and how terrifyingly, their story is about to become entwined with his.
The group will meet on Thursday, March 8th at 2pm. Copies of the book are available at the Circulation Desk and new members are always welcome.
