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 April selection is The Dance Tree by Kiran Millwood Hargrave. \nBook Summary: \nStrasbourg\, 1518. In the midst of a blisteringly hot summer\, a lone woman begins to dance in the city square. She dances for days without pause or rest\, and when hundreds of other women join her\, the men running the city declare a state of emergency and hire musicians to play the Devil out of the mob. Outside the city\, pregnant Lisbet lives with her husband and mother-in-law\, tending the bees that are the family’s livelihood. Though Lisbet is removed from the frenzy of the dancing plague afflicting the city’s women\, her own quiet life is upended by the arrival of her sister-in-law. Nethe has been away for seven years\, serving a penance in the mountains for a crime no one will name. \nIt is a secret Lisbet is determined to uncover. As the city buckles under the beat of a thousand feet\, Lisbet becomes caught in a dangerous web of deceit and clandestine passion. Like the women of Strasbourg\, she too\, is dancing to a dangerous tune. . . .

SUMMARY:Banned Book Club
DESCRIPTION: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! \nBanned Book Club will meet the third Tuesday of each month. \nOur pick for April is Black Girl Unlimited by Echo Brown. \nBook Summary: \nEcho Brown is a wizard from the East Side\, where apartments are small and parents suffer addictions to the white rocks. Yet there is magic . . . everywhere. New portals begin to open when Echo transfers to the rich school on the West Side\, and an insightful teacher becomes a pivotal mentor. Each day\, Echo travels between two worlds\, leaving her brothers\, her friends\, and a piece of herself behind on the East Side. There are dangers to leaving behind the place that made you. Echo soon realizes there is pain flowing through everyone around her\, and a black veil of depression threatens to undo everything she’s worked for.

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 May pick is a Count of Monte Cristo retelling. \nFor She Is Wrath by Emily Varga. \nSummary: \nFramed for a crime she didn’t commit\, Dania counts down her days in prison until she can exact revenge on Mazin\, the boy responsible for her downfall\, the boy she once loved—and still can’t forget. When she discovers a fellow prisoner may have the key to exacting that vengeance–a stolen djinn treasure–they execute a daring escape together and search for the hidden treasure. \nArmed with dark magic and a new identity\, Dania enacts a plan to bring down those who betrayed her and her family\, even though Mazin stands in her way. But seeking revenge becomes a complicated game of cat and mouse\, especially when an undeniable fire still burns between them\, and the power to destroy her enemies has a price. As Dania falls deeper into her web of traps and lies\, she risks losing her humanity to her fight for vengeance–and her heart to the only boy she’s ever loved. \nFor more information about this book club click here.

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 May selection is The Funeral Ladies of Ellerie County by Claire Swinarski. \nBook Summary: \nArmed with a Crock-Pot and a pile of recipes\, a grandmother\, her granddaughter\, and a mysterious young man work to bring a community together in this uplifting novel for readers of The Chicken Sisters. \nEsther Larson has been cooking for funerals in the Northwoods of Wisconsin for seventy years. Known locally as the “funeral ladies\,” she and her cohort have worked hard to keep the mourners of Ellerie County fed—it is her firm belief that there is very little a warm casserole and a piece of cherry pie can’t fix. But\, after falling for an internet scam that puts her home at risk\, the proud Larson family matriarch is the one in need of help these days. Iris\, Esther’s whip-smart Gen Z granddaughter\, would do anything for her family and her community. \nAs she watches her friends and family move out of their lakeside town onto bigger and better things\, Iris wonders why she feels so left behind in the place she is desperate to make her home. But when Cooper Welsh shows up\, she finally starts to feel like she’s found the missing piece of her puzzle. Cooper is dealing with becoming a legal guardian to his younger half-sister after his beloved stepmother dies. While their celebrity-chef father is focused on his booming career and top-ranked television show\, Cooper is still hurting from a public tragedy he witnessed last year as a paramedic and finding it hard to cope. With Iris in the gorgeous Ellerie County\, though\, he hopes he might finally find the home he’s been looking for. \nIt doesn’t seem like a community cookbook could possibly solve their problems\, especially one where casseroles have their own section and cream of chicken soup mix is the most frequently used ingredient. But when you mix the can-do spirit of Midwestern grandmothers with the stubborn hope of a boy raised by food plus a dash of long-awaited forgiveness—things might just turn out okay. Includes Recipes
