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 February pick is a Beauty and the Beast Retelling. \nUprooted by Naomi Novik. \nSummary: \nAgnieszka loves her valley home\, her quiet village\, the forests and the bright shining river. But the corrupted Wood stands on the border\, full of malevolent power\, and its shadow lies over her life. \nHer people rely on the cold\, driven wizard known only as the Dragon to keep its powers at bay. But he demands a terrible price for his help: one young woman handed over to serve him for ten years\, a fate almost as terrible as falling to the Wood. \nThe next choosing is fast approaching\, and Agnieszka is afraid. She knows—everyone knows—that the Dragon will take Kasia: beautiful\, graceful\, brave Kasia\, all the things Agnieszka isn’t\, and her dearest friend in the world. And there is no way to save her. \nBut Agnieszka fears the wrong things. For when the Dragon comes\, it is not Kasia he will choose.

SUMMARY:Banned Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for  Banned Book Club on February 17th @ 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 February is Darius the Great Is Not Okay by Adib Khorram \nBook Summary: \nDarius Kellner speaks better Klingon than Farsi\, and he knows more about Hobbit social cues than Persian ones. He’s about to take his first-ever trip to Iran\, and it’s pretty overwhelming—especially when he’s also dealing with clinical depression\, a disapproving dad\, and a chronically anemic social life. In Iran\, he gets to know his ailing but still formidable grandfather\, his loving grandmother\, and the rest of his mom’s family for the first time. And he meets Sohrab\, the boy next door who changes everything. \nSohrab makes sure people speak English so Darius can understand what’s going on. He gets Darius an Iranian National Football Team jersey that makes him feel like a True Persian for the first time. And he understands that sometimes\, best friends don’t have to talk. Darius has never had a true friend before\, but now he’s spending his days with Sohrab playing soccer\, eating rosewater ice cream\, and sitting together for hours in their special place\, a rooftop overlooking the Yazdi skyline. \nSohrab calls him Darioush—the original Persian version of his name—and Darius has never felt more like himself than he does now that he’s Darioush to Sohrab. When it’s time to go home to America\, he’ll have to find a way to be Darioush on his own.

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 February selection is The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood. \nBook Summary: \nIf she wasn’t dead already\, Delphie would be dying of embarrassment. Not only did she just die by choking on a microwaveable burger\, she’s also now standing in her “sparkle and shine” nightie in front of the hottest man she’s ever seen. And he’s smiling at her. \nAs they start to chat\, everything else becomes background noise. That is\, until someone comes running through a door yelling something about a huge mistake and sends the dreamy stranger back down to Earth. And here Delphie was thinking her luck might be different in the afterlife. \nWhen Delphie is offered a deal in which she can return to Earth and reconnect with the mysterious man\, she jumps at the opportunity to find her possible soulmate and a fresh start. But to find him in a city of millions\, Delphie is going to have to listen to her heart\, learn to ask for help\, and perhaps even see the magic in the life she’s leaving behind. . . .
