SUMMARY:Brown Bag Talking Book Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Brown Bag Talking Book Discussion\nThe group discusses two audiobooks each month. Listen to all\, one\, or even none… everyone is welcome! \nMeet in person or join in remotely. \nTo join remotely by phone\, please Call: 267-807-9601 and use Access Code: 965803\, or join virtually by visiting bit.ly/TCLbtbcall \n  \nTitles are voted on 3 months in advance. This month’s titles: \n  \nThe Librarianist by Patrick deWitt\nDB 116100\n10 hours\, 6 minutes. General Fiction.\nBob Comet is a retired librarian passing his solitary days surrounded by books and small comforts in a mint-colored house in Portland\, Oregon. One morning on his daily walk he encounters a confused elderly woman lost in a market and returns her to the senior center that is her home. Hoping to fill the void he’s known since retiring\, he begins volunteering at the center. Here\, as a community of strange peers gathers around Bob\, and following a happenstance brush with a painful complication from his past\, the events of his life and the details of his character are revealed. Behind Bob Comet’s straight-man facade is the story of an unhappy child’s runaway adventure during the last days of the Second World War\, of true love won and stolen away\, of the purpose and pride found in the librarian’s vocation\, and of the pleasures of a life lived to the side of the masses. Bob’s experiences are imbued with melancholy but also a bright\, sustained comedy; he has a talent for locating bizarre and outsize players to welcome onto the stage of his life. \nWeyward by Emilia Hart\nDB 113239\n10 hours\, 55 minutes. Historical Fiction\nThree women. Five centuries. One secret. ‘I had nature in my heart\, she said. Like she did\, and her mother before her. There was something about us – the Weyward women – that bonded us more tightly with the natural world. We can feel it\, she said\, the same way we feel rage\, sorrow or joy.’ In 2019\, Kate flees an abusive relationship in London for Crows Beck\, a remote Cumbrian village. Her destination is Weyward Cottage\, inherited from her great Aunt Violet\, an eccentric entomologist. As Kate struggles with the trauma of her past\, she uncovers a secret about the women in her family. A secret dating back to 1619\, when her ancestor Altha Weyward was put on trial for witchcraft…. Weyward is a stunning debut novel about gender and control – about the long echoes of male violence through the centuries. But more than that\, it is a celebration of nature\, female power and breaking free. \n  \n  \n  \nNew attendees: Please call the library or click on the covers above to place copies on hold. Or current BTB members can use the Talking Book Order Form to have copies sent on cartridge.

SUMMARY:Tween Book Club Holiday Party!
DESCRIPTION:Tween Book Club Holiday Party\nTween Book Club is a monthly book club suggested for ages 10-14 where we will read age-appropriate titles from all genres\, have a snack\, and do a book-related activity! This month is our holiday party\, so we will discuss what our favorite reads of the year were\, our new reading goals\, and what we want to see next year from book club. \nCopies of our monthly book will be placed on hold and can be picked up from our front desk before our meeting. Most of the time they are also available on Hoopla or Libby \nWe will take time to share thoughts on the book and chat about our general reading interests! \nThis months book is Atana and the Firebird by Vivian Zhou \n \nA mermaid\, a firebird\, and a witch become entangled with the mysterious and powerful Witch Queen\, who may hold the key to each of their past in this epic middle grade fantasy by debut author Vivian Zhou. Atana’s island may be quiet and peaceful\, but mostly\, it’s lonely. With the outside world full of magic hunters who would stop at nothing to capture a mermaid like her\, Atana has never been brave enough to swim far from her island’s shores and seek the answers to her mysterious past—until a firebird named Ren unexpectedly crashes into her life. Ren’s arrival does not go unnoticed\, as it has been hundreds of years since a firebird last landed on Earth. Determined to both protect Ren and finally chase the answers she’s longed for\, Atana embarks on an adventure that takes her and the firebird to strange new islands and entangles them with the powerful yet secretive Witch Queen. Generous though the Witch Queen’s offer of protection may be\, an invitation to the Blue Palace can’t come without a price. And while the Palace’s splendid halls and library might hold the key to Atana’s past\, will she be willing to pay the cost when it risks her chance of a bright new future?
