Event Details

Join us for our new Big Read Book Club! Each month, we'll read one of the 12 novels & memoirs the National Endowment for the Arts features as its annual "Big Read" selections. We will meet at 10 am every fourth Saturday to discuss the book; patrons have the option of attending virtually or in person. Coffee and refreshments will be served! 

Our selection for October 2022 will be the 2021 novel Infinite Country. Infinite Country is a work of fiction by NEA Creative Writing Fellow Patricia Engel about a teenage daughter who tries to make her way from Bogotá, Colombia, to the U.S., and her mother and siblings who seek safety and opportunity in New Jersey amidst fears that they will be deported like her father. All members of the family hold on to hope, their culture, each other, and the dream of a better life.

Copies will be made available at the library's Circulation Desk. Please sign up below to participate in this month's discussion!
