SUMMARY:Tales Retold Book Club
DESCRIPTION:We will be meeting on the first Tuesday of every month\, to read and discuss original works and spin-offs or retellings based on them. \nOur September pick is a Pride and Prejudice Retelling. \nSo Material a Change by Amy D’Orazio. \nSummary: \nMatrimony is the last thing on Elizabeth Bennet’s mind when she arrives at Netherfield Park to tend to her ill sister. When proud Mr Darcy acts rashly to thwart a compromise and tells her that the entire household believes they are engaged\, she dismisses him outright and refuses his offer of marriage. \nBut more surprises await her at Longbourn. Mr Collins is ready with an offer of marriage and it is not only her mother who thinks it a fine match; Mr Bennet is willing to press the point until Elizabeth makes clear such a connexion is impossible—because she has accepted an offer of marriage from Mr Darcy. \nIt is an inauspicious beginning\, an engagement neither desires\, driven to by the machinations of others. Yet what begins as a forced alliance soon changes into something quite different. Will it be enough to lead them into love?

As the eldest\, she faces mounting pressure from her parents to marry. When the outspoken Elizabeth is introduced to the handsome and upper-class Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen)\, sparks fly.

SUMMARY:Banned Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for  Banned Book Club on September 16th @ 5:30 pm \nEvery 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! \nBanned Book Club will meet the third Tuesday of each month. \nOur pick for September is This Book Won’t Burn by Samira Ahmed \nBook Summary: \nAfter her dad abruptly abandons her family and her mom moves them a million miles from their Chicago home\, Noor Khan is forced to start the last quarter of her senior year at a new school\, away from everything and everyone she knows and loves. Reeling from being uprooted and deserted\, Noor is certain the key to survival is to keep her head down and make it to graduation.  But things aren’t so simple. At school\, Noor discovers hundreds of books have been labeled “obscene” or “pornographic” and are being removed from the library in accordance with a new school board policy. Even worse\, virtually all the banned books are by queer and BIPOC authors.  Noor can’t sit back and do nothing\, because that goes against everything she believes in\, but challenging the status quo just might put a target on her back. Can she effect change by speaking up? Or will small-town politics—and small-town love—be her downfall?

SUMMARY:JFHML Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join the Library’s adult book club that meets the third Thursday of every month at 5:00! \nExtra copies of the book are available at the front desk! \nOur September selection is The Minuscule Mansion of Myra Malone by Audrey Burges \nBook Summary: A woman learns to expand the boundaries of her small world and let love inside it in this sparkling and unforgettable novel by Audrey Burges. \nFrom her attic in the Arizona mountains\, thirty-four-year-old Myra Malone blogs about a dollhouse mansion that captivates thousands of readers worldwide. Myra’s stories have created legions of fans who breathlessly await every blog post\, trade photographs of Mansion-modeled rooms\, and swap theories about the enigmatic and reclusive author. Myra herself is tethered to the Mansion by mysteries she can’t understand—rooms that appear and disappear overnight\, music that plays in its corridors. \nAcross the country\, Alex Rakes\, the scion of a custom furniture business\, encounters two Mansion fans trying to recreate a room. The pair show him the Minuscule Mansion\, and Alex is shocked to recognize a reflection of his own life mirrored back to him in minute scale. The room is his own bedroom\, and the Mansion is his family’s home\, handed down from the grandmother who disappeared mysteriously when Alex was a child. Searching for answers\, Alex begins corresponding with Myra. Together\, the two unwind the lonely paths of their twin worlds—big and small—and trace the stories that entwine them\, setting the stage for a meeting rooted in loss\, but defined by love.
