Join Our Book Club!
Expand your reading horizons by participating in our book club. Book clubs are a great way for book-lovers to enjoy reading and the pleasure of each other's company. The book club can be a useful discipline for encouraging you to read more, to read outside the genres you normally read, or simply as a way to make new friends and meet like-minded readers. The book club will meet at the Library on Wednesday, June 19, at 6:30 PM to discuss the book Tender Is the Night, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic story of psychological disintegration.
First published in 1934, the novel was denounced by many as an unflattering portrayal of Sara and Gerald Murphy (in the guise of characters Dick and Nicole Diver), who had been generous hosts to many expatriates. Only after Fitzgerald's death was Tender Is the Night recognized as a powerful and moving depiction of the human frailties that affect privileged and ordinary people alike.
Stop by; meet fellow readers; talk about Tender Is the Night and other books you'd like to read and discuss.
Book clubs prove that good books bring people together.
