Main Library Book Discussion: Tom Lake by Ann Patchet

The Main Library Book Discussion meets on the first Tuesday of each month. Books chosen are generally literary fiction or narrative nonfiction. Participants take turns leading the discussion. This discussion currently meets online via Zoom. Register here.

June Book Discussion: Tom Lake by Ann Patchet

  • "Tom Lake is a meditation on youthful love, married love, and the lives parents have led before their children were born. Both hopeful and elegiac, it explores what it means to be happy even when the world is falling apart. As in all of her novels, Ann Patchett combines compelling narrative artistry with piercing insights into family dynamics. The result is a rich and luminous story, told with profound intelligence and emotional subtlety, that demonstrates once again why she is one of the most revered and acclaimed literary talents working today."

 

This book club will be on hiatus in July and August. 
September Book Discussion: September 2- Isola by Allegra Goodman

McAuliffe Book Discussion (Evening): North Woods by Daniel Mason

The McAuliffe Branch hosts two book discussion groups to discuss various fiction and nonfiction, as well as contemporary and classic literature. You can join us anytime to discuss one particular book or become a regular. Register here.

June McAuliffe Book Discussion (Evening): North Woods by Daniel Mason

  • "This magisterial and highly inventive novel from Pulitzer Prize finalist Daniel Mason brims with love and madness, humor and hope. Following the cycles of history, nature, and even language, North Woods shows the myriad, magical ways in which we’re connected to our environment, to history, and to one another. It is not just an unforgettable novel about secrets and destinies, but a way of looking at the world that asks the timeless question: How do we live on, even after we’re gone?

If you borrow a book group title from us, please check out the book at the Circulation Desk. Some books are loans from other libraries in the network and do not work with our self-checkout. Please do not leave the Library without checking out your materials. Thanks for your cooperation!
