Adults

This month we will be reading West with Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge. 

An emotional, rousing novel inspired by the incredible true story of two giraffes who made headlines and won the hearts of Depression-era America. Part adventure, part historical saga, and part coming-of-age love story, West with Giraffes explores what it means to be changed by the grace of animals, the kindness of strangers, the passing of time, and a story told before it’s too late.

Our SFF book club is curated especially for readers aged 18-35, but all are welcome! 

This month’s book is This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. Ask a staff member for help locating a copy in print, e-book, or audiobook format! Read this month's book before the meeting and join us to discuss your favorite characters and scenes, share headcanons, and speculate on future events. 

Join us for a special hour exclusively for families with children, teens and adults who experience sensory sensitivities, held before the library opens to the public.
