Christmas Basket of Books!!!!!

Join us at the library for a great discussion of holiday feel good books on Wednesday, December 16 at 10 a.m. in the library meeting room. You will have such a good time reading these short, positive holiday books. Check out the list on our facebook page or on our blog on the left. Call the library if you have questions. We hope that you will join us.

For the month of November, we will be reading THE GREAT GATBSY by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Join us as we relive the time of the Roaring 20's and the time just before "the Great Depression."

The group will be meeting to discuss the book and watch the movie.

BOOK SELECTION FOR OCTOBER

Join us on October 28 at 10 a.m. as we discuss the book THE NAMESAKE by Jhumpa Lahiri.

This is the author's second book. Her first book the INTERPRETER OF MALADIES won the 2000 Pulitzer Prize. The book we will be reading and discussing deals with the immigrant experience, the problems and conflicts with assimilation, and the problem of communication between generations.

We look forward to seeing you. Remember that October is "National Reading Group Month".

Join us for fun, mental stimulation, and the best food ever!

September Selection--Taylor Caldwell

Join us on September 30 as we discuss ANSWER AS A MAN by Taylor Caldwell. This year all of our selections are recommendations from members of our reading group. Last month we had a great discussion of THE THIRD ANGEL by Alice Hoffman. We love the differing opinions and ideas. It gets all of us thinking outside of our boxes!

Remember, that refreshments are a great part of our discussion as is the coffee!

Stop by the library and sign up to be part of this activity.

Book Discussion Selections

The selections for our next year are on the blog--look to the left. All of the selections for the next year were proposed by book club members. Can't wait for the discussions!

JULY BOOK DISCUSSION

We are back to meeting at our regular time--10 a.m. in the morning in the library meeting room.

Join us as we talk about FAMILY TREE by Barbara Delinsky. The book looks at heritage, love, and marriage as a couple faces an issue in their life. Delinksy is a woman's writer. We should have quite a discussion on this book. Watch this site for a listing of our next twelve books! Happy summer reading! Find a good beach read that you can't resist. (See the list to the left)

ALL IOWA READS

Join us on June 17th at 2 p.m. (Note change of time) to discuss THE ROPE WALK by Carrie Brown. This year's ALL IOWA READS is indeed a "thinking" book as we look at main characters who are children. Their innocence brings lessons to us all. Hope to see a large group on Wednesday.

Remember, the summer reading program has begun. You can "Be Creative at Your Library" by participating in our bingo game. Every filled row wins a prize. Also, each book that you read is a chance to win a beautiful prize from "The Willow Tree." The prize is on display at the library. Give us a call with questions or better still stop by the library.
