The Un-Book-Club
Most book clubs involve reading and talking about a selected title. The un-book-club is a little different! The library staff will select a book that has received good reviews and has been the topic for book discussions in other libraries.
The loan period will be 14 days with one renewal allowed.
Share your opinion of these (and any other) books by logging onto the library catalog at home. Look for the Reader Review box, click on it, follow directions, and become a local book reviewer, If you'd like to read some reviews search these titles and click on Reader Reviews on the left side of the screen: Patrimony: A True Story, Sight For Sore Eyes, Animals Make Us Human, Tales of Beedle the Bard. These are just some of the reviews written by local readers. Add your thoughts about the books you have read!
The Un-Book-Club title for November is:
Plum Wine by Angela Davis-Gardner
Plum Wine by Angela Davis-Gardner tells a story about a personal journey to Japan during the height of the Vietnam War. The story provides the setting for a page-turner filled with history, culture, literature, not to mention mystery, trust and betrayal, and a clash of civilizations.
Borrow a copy of , read it, and share your thoughts online or on one of the reader review cards tucked in the book.
For those of you who would like to catch up on earlier Un-Book Club titles, our previous selections have been: Still Alice, Serendipity, 3 titles by Malcolm Gladwell, Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society, and Teacher Man. Copies of all past selections are available to borrow at the library. The titles may also be found in the online catalog by searching Unbook Club.
Library services are provided by the Granby Public Library which is located within the Town Hall complex near the center of Granby and at the Frederick H. Cossitt Library in North Granby. The Granby Public Library was built in 1982, while the Cossitt branch recently celebrated its 100th year anniversary. Combined, the two library buildings provide Granby residents with access to over 63,000 items including books, audio tapes, videos, and compact discs, as well as subscriptions to more than 100 periodicals. The reference collection at the main library includes 1,500 items. In addition to its published materials, the libraries offer a variety of special programs for the young as well as the not-so-young each year.
