Books are available for request at the library. Our group is open to all. We welcome visitors, drop-ins, the curious, and book lovers of all types. Please note that we do observe a fragrance-free policy. The September book is "Last Night At The Lobster" by Stuart O'Nan:
A frank and funny yet emotionally resonant tale set within a vivid work day world, from the author of Emily, Alone and Henry, Himself--named a Best Book of the Year by The Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, and Entertainment Weekly.
"In prose as wondrously spare as the lives of the characters, O'Nan exposes their pathos, a stripped-down fragility made all the more poignant by their fledgling efforts at resilience. These are dutiful characters, with modest dreams and deep humility, yet with a persistent, almost instinctive fortitude that enables them to get up each morning and try again."
--The Boston Globe
