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 Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams \nBook Summery: \nSeconds before the Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway\, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect\, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy who\, for the last fifteen years\, has been posing as an out-of-work actor. \nTogether this dynamic pair begin a journey through space aided by quotes from The Hitchhiker’s Guide (“A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have”) and a galaxy-full of fellow travelers: Zaphod Beeblebrox—the two-headed\, three-armed ex-hippie and totally out-to-lunch president of the galaxy; Trillian\, Zaphod’s girlfriend (formally Tricia McMillan)\, whom Arthur tried to pick up at a cocktail party once upon a time zone; Marvin\, a paranoid\, brilliant\, and chronically depressed robot; Veet Voojagig\, a former graduate student who is obsessed with the disappearance of all the ballpoint pens he bought over the years. \nWhere are these pens? Why are we born? Why do we die? Why do we spend so much time between wearing digital watches? For all the answers stick your thumb to the stars. And don’t forget to bring a towel!

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 August selection is A Novel Obsession by Caitlin Barasch. \nBook Summary: \nTwenty-four-year-old bookseller and New Yorker Naomi Ackerman\, desperate to write a novel\, struggles to find the right story to tell. When\, after years of disastrous Tinder dates\, she meets Caleb—a perfectly nice guy with a Welsh accent and a unique patience for all of her quirks—she feels she’s finally stumbled onto a time-honored subject: love. But then Caleb’s ex-girlfriend\, Rosemary\, enters the scene. \nWhen Naomi learns that Rosemary is not safely tucked away overseas as she’d assumed but in fact lives in New York and works in the literary world\, she is fundamentally threatened and intrigued in equal measure. On paper\, Rosemary sounds like a better version of Naomi—but if they both fell for the same man\, they must have something more essential in common. \nDetermined to figure out how their stories intertwine\, Naomi’s casual Instagram stalking morphs into a full-blown friendship under false pretenses. She can’t seem to get herself to quit Rosemary\, in whom she discovers an unexpected confidant—and she can’t stop writing about her either\, having now found a more interesting subject for her nascent novel. As her lies and half-truths spiral out of her control\, and fact and fiction become increasingly difficult to separate\, Naomi manipulates the most important people in her life—her family\, her friends\, Caleb\, Rosemary\, and\, perhaps most devastatingly\, herself—in pursuit of her craft. Ultimately\, she’s forced to decide who and what she’s willing to sacrifice to write them all the perfect ending.

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?
