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: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 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
