BOOK GROUP NEWSAugust 31 - “Last Night at the
Lobster” by Stewart O’Nan The next adult book discussion
held at the Daland Memorial Li-brary on Monday, August 31 will fo-cus on “Last Night at the Lobster” by Stewart O’Nan. The discussion begins at 9:30 a.m. The group, ac-tive for more than six years, usu-ally meets the first Monday of each month at the library. Sometimes, the group takes a field trip relating to a book or may watch a movie in-terpretation of a selection. Every at-tempt is made to get copies of the books through interlibrary loan. Books may also be found in paper-back at local bookstores includ-ing The Toadstool Bookshop. Oc-casionally, because of availability, dates of books to be discussed may be switched or substitutions made. Participants are asked to bring a question, comment or observation to the discussion. Participants take turns bringing light refreshments to share. There are usually between eight and twelve attendees. Anyone is welcome to join in one or more discussion.
Library Director Karen MacDon-ald purchases a copy of each selec-tion for the library collection. Any title may be borrowed by a library patron, though a book that’s to be
discussed will be reserved for book group participants the month of the discussion. Questions, call the li-brary at 673-7888.Book list for remainder of 2009 ~ NO SEPTEMBER DISCUSSION ~
