Event Details

Looking for people to discuss books with? You've found them.

Stop by the Reference desk and pick a copy of The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros at the library-- read it, then join us to discuss it on August 28.

"The House on Mango Street is one of the most cherished novels of the last fifty years. Readers from all walks of life have fallen for the voice of Esperanza Cordero, growing up in Chicago and inventing for herself who and what she will become. “In English my name means hope,” she says. “In Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting."" -- from the Amazon blurb for the book.

(While there will be spoilers, it's ok to attend even if you didn't finish the book!)

The September book will be Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver. Come help us decide what to read in the future!
