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 March selection is Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell. \nBook Summary: \nWhat makes “cults” so intriguing and frightening? What makes them powerful? The reason why so many of us binge Manson documentaries by the dozen and fall down rabbit holes researching suburban moms gone QAnon is because we’re looking for a satisfying explanation for what causes people to join—and more importantly\, stay in—extreme groups. We secretly want to know: could it happen to me? Amanda Montell’s argument is that\, on some level\, it already has . . . \nOur culture tends to provide pretty flimsy answers to questions of cult influence\, mostly having to do with vague talk of “brainwashing.” But the true answer has nothing to do with freaky mind-control wizardry or Kool-Aid. In Cultish\, Montell argues that the key to manufacturing intense ideology\, community\, and us/them attitudes all comes down to language. In both positive ways and shadowy ones\, cultish language is something we hear—and are influenced by—every single day.

SUMMARY:Sci-Fi Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Meets the first Thursday of every month. \nThis is a book club dedicated to Science Fiction books\, old and new. \nOur May book is The Long Way to a Small\, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers. \nBook Summery: \nRosemary Harper doesn’t expect much when she joins the crew of the aging Wayfarer. While the patched-up ship has seen better days\, it offers her a bed\, a chance to explore the far-off corners of the galaxy\, and most importantly\, some distance from her past. An introspective young woman who learned early to keep to herself\, she’s never met anyone remotely like the ship’s diverse crew\, including Sissix\, the exotic reptilian pilot\, chatty engineers Kizzy and Jenks who keep the ship running\, and Ashby\, their noble captain. \nLife aboard the Wayfarer is chaotic and crazy—exactly what Rosemary wants. It’s also about to get extremely dangerous when the crew is offered the job of a lifetime. Tunneling wormholes through space to a distant planet is definitely lucrative and will keep them comfortable for years. But risking her life wasn’t part of the plan. In the far reaches of deep space\, the tiny Wayfarer crew will confront a host of unexpected mishaps and thrilling adventures that force them to depend on each other. To survive\, Rosemary’s got to learn how to rely on this assortment of oddballs—an experience that teaches her about love and trust\, and that having a family isn’t necessarily the worst thing in the universe.

SUMMARY:Sci-Fi Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Meets the first Thursday of every month. \nThis is a book club dedicated to Science Fiction books\, old and new. \nOur June book is Volatile Memory by Seth Haddon. \nBook Summery: \nWith nothing but a limping ship and an outdated mask to her name\, Wylla needs a big pay day. When the call goes out that a lucrative piece of tech is waiting on a nearby planet\, she relies on all the swiftness of her prey animal instincts to beat other hunters to it. \nWhat you found wasn’t your ticket out—it was my corpse wearing an AI mask. When you touched the mask\, you heard my voice. A consciousness spinning through metal and circuits\, a bodiless mind\, spun to life in the HAWK’s temporary storage. I crystallized\, and I was alive. \nMasks aren’t supposed to retain memory\, much less identity\, but the woman inside the MARK I HAWK is real\, and she sees Wylla in a way no one ever has. Sees her\, and doesn’t find her wanting or unwhole. \nArmed with military-grade tech and a lifetime of staying one step ahead of the hunters\, Wylla and HAWK set off to get answers from the man who discarded HAWK once before: her ex-husband.

SUMMARY:Sci-Fi Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Sci-Fi Book Club is taking over the spot of Tales Retold Book Club. Meets the first Thursday of every month. \nThis is a book club dedicated to Science Fiction books\, old and new. \nOur July book is The Time Machine by H.G. Wells. \nBook Summery: \nSo begins the Time Traveller’s astonishing firsthand account of his journey 800\,000 years beyond his own era—and the story that launched H.G. Wells’s successful career and earned him his reputation as the father of science fiction. With a speculative leap that still fires the imagination\, Wells sends his brave explorer to face a future burdened with our greatest hopes…and our darkest fears. A pull of the Time Machine’s lever propels him to the age of a slowly dying Earth.  There he discovers two bizarre races—the ethereal Eloi and the subterranean Morlocks—who not only symbolize the duality of human nature\, but offer a terrifying portrait of the men of tomorrow as well.
