UPCOMING EVENTS AT THE LIBRARY
Tuesday Evening Book Club:
Our book selection for September is the 'One Book, One Region' selection Life is So Good. One man's extraordinary journey through the 20th century and how he learned to read at age 98. In this remarkable book, 103-year-old George Dawson, a slave's grandson who learned to read at age 98, reflects on his life and offers valuable lessons in living as well as a fresh, firsthand view of America during the twentieth century. The book club will meet to discuss Life Is So Good on September 9, 2008 at 7 p.m.
Copies are available at the library. Please call the library (535-0383) if you need more information.
