Adult Book Discussion
All adults are invited one Tuesday night of each month to attend the Oscar Grady Library Adult Book Discussion Group to meet others in the community who share their love of books and to discuss selected popular fiction and non-fiction titles.
On Tuesday, June 19th 6:30-7:30 pm, we will be discussing The Postmistress by Sarah Blake. Here is a brief synopsis of the book “In London covering the Blitz with Edward R. Murrow, Frankie Bard meets a Cape Cod doctor in a shelter and promises that she’ll deliver a letter for him when she finally returns to the United States. Filled with stunning parallels to today’s world, The Postmistress is a sweeping novel about the loss of innocence of two extraordinary women–and of two countries torn apart by war.”
Copies are available at the circulation desk on a first come, first serve basis. Registration not required.
Finding Reliable Health Information
Wednesday, June 6th 6-7 pm

Please register for this event at the circulation desk or by phone (262) 284-6022
