September 25, 2027 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join us for our new book club: Banned Book Club
Every month we’ll read a book that has been banned or challenged. We’ve picked the first few reads, but we want your suggestions for what we read going forward!
Banned Book Club will meet the last Saturday of every month at 11:00.
Our May book is “The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger
Copies of the book are available at the library for check out.
Book Summary:
Fleeing the crooks at Pencey Prep, he pinballs around New York City seeking solace in fleeting encounters—shooting the bull with strangers in dive hotels, wandering alone round Central Park, getting beaten up by pimps and cut down by erstwhile girlfriends. The city is beautiful and terrible, in all its neon loneliness and seedy glamour, its mingled sense of possibility and emptiness. Holden passes through it like a ghost, thinking always of his kid sister Phoebe, the only person who really understands him, and his determination to escape the phonies and find a life of true meaning.
