Event Details
Looking for people to discuss books with? You've found them.
Stop by the Reference desk to request/pick a copy of the October read, The Painted Drum, by Louise Erdich. Then join us on October 30 to discuss it. (While there will be spoilers, it's ok to attend even if you didn't finish the book!)
Native American poet and novelist Louise Erdich frames this book around the discovery, recovery and history of priceless Ojibwe ritual drum. Discovering and researching the drum influences the narrator's life-- but the drum has a much longer, more complex history in the lives of people it has touched.
