Historical Fiction Book Club

In recognition of America250, we will be exploring Historical Fiction stories that are relevant to the history of the United States. Although these stories are fictional, they are often well-researched and based upon historical facts. Historical Fiction breathes life into the past and allows us to emotionally connect with stories of lives and experiences that may otherwise be unrealized or forgotten. Our Historical Fiction Book Club will meet on the third Tuesday of the month at 6pm starting February 17. Copies of each month's book for discussion will be available to borrow at the library. Please let us know ahead of time if you would prefer to have an alternative format such as Large Print or Audiobook.

February 17 "The Cold Millions" by Jess Walter
