BOOK CLUB BAYOU VISTA BRANCH
YOUNG ADULT BOOK CLUB
The Bayou Vista Book Club for Young Adults will meet on
August 30th at 5:30 P.M. to discuss the book “All The
Truth That’s In Me,” by Julie Berry.
Four years ago, Judith and her best friend
disappeared from their small town of Roswell Sta-
tion. Two years ago, only Judith returned, perma-
nently mutilated, ignored by those who were once
her friends and family. Unable to speak, Judith
lives like a ghost in her own home, silently pouring
out her thoughts to the boy who’s owned her heart as long as
she can remember, her childhood friend, Lucas. But when
Roswell Station is attacked, long-buried secrets come to
light, and Judith is forced to choose: continue to live in
silence, or recover her voice,.
For any questions or if you are interested in joining please call
985-399-9866.
FRANKLIN BRANCH
ADULT BOOK CLUB The Franklin Branch Library Adult Book Club will not meet for the

PATTERSON BRANCH
ADULT BOOK CLUB
The Patterson Branch Adult Book Club will meet on Thursday,
August 16, 2018 at 5:30 P.M. The title for discussion will be
“Endurance: A Year in Space, A Lifetime of Discovery” by
Scott Kelly.
Scott Kelly has experienced things very few have. He
describes navigating the extreme challenge of
long-term spaceflight, both life-threatening and
mundane: the devastating effects on the body; the
isolation from everyone he loves and the comforts of
Earth; the catastrophic risks of colliding with space
junk; and the still more haunting threat of being unable to help
should tragedy strike at home--an agonizing situation Kelly faced
when, on a previous mission, his twin brother's wife, American
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, was shot while he still had two
months in space.
We are sorry to announce that our book club is currently at full
capacity. Please check back for any openings.
BERWICK BRANCH
YOUNG ADULT BOOK CLUB The Berwick Branch Adult Book Club will meet on Friday,
August 31st at 4:00 P.M. we will be discussing the book
“Upside Down In The Middle Of Nowhere,” by Julie T. Lamana.
Armani Curtis can think about only one thing: her tenth
birthday. All her friends are coming to her party, her mama is
making a big cake, and she has a good feeling about a certain
wrapped box. Turning ten is a big deal to Armani. It means
she's older, wiser, more responsible. But when Hurricane
Katrina hits the Lower Nines of New Orleans, Armani realizes
that being ten means being brave, watching loved
ones die, and mustering all her strength to help her
family weather the storm.
For more information or if you are interested in
joining please call 985-385-2943. BERWICK BRANCH
ADULT BOOK CLUB The Berwick Branch Adult Book Club will meet on Thursday,
August 16th at 6:00 P.M. we will be discussing the book
“Redeeming Love,” by Francine Rivers.
Angel expects nothing from men but betrayal. She was sold
into prostitution as a child. Then she meets Michael Hosea.
Michael obeys God's call to marry Angel and to love her
unconditionally. Slowly, He defies Angel's every bitter
expectation, until despite her resistance, her frozen heart
begins to thaw. But with her unexpected softening come
overwhelming feelings of unworthiness and fear. And so Angel
runs. Back to the darkness, away from her husband's pursuing
love, terrified of the truth she no longer can deny:
Her final healing must come from the One who
loves her even more than Michael does. One who
will never let her go. For more information or if you are interested in
joining please call 985-385-2943.
WEST END BRANCH
ADULT BOOK CLUB
The West End Branch Adult Book will meet on Tuesday, August 21st
at 4:30 P.M. We will be discussing the book,
“Sandcastles ,” by Luanna Rice.
Some things, like sandcastles, don’t survive the changing tides. But
love, family, and friendship–just as fragile–have a way of standing
against anything. It will take nothing short of a miracle
to heal the rift between father and daughter, husband
and wife, the past and the present–but a miracle is
exactly what is in the works at Star of the Sea
Academy. The only question is: Do you believe? For more information or if you are interested in joining
please call 337-923-6205.
