Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
Thirteen committed readers of the Afternoon Book Group braved the damp icy weather to join together at the Library on Wednesday afternoon for a discussion of the novel, Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen led by Fred Fink.
The story of life in a circus during the time of The Great Depression was enthusiastically praised by the members for its well developed characters and the historical significance of the era.
There was mayhem, murder, love triangles, a close look into the life of circus workers and their trained animals. A depiction of the vagaries of aging was handled with objectivity and humor.
The Discussion Group heartily recommends this book to all Library patrons.

Seeing by Jose Saramago was discussed Mar. 12.
Facilitator: Al Simenson

Piano Tuner by Daniel Mason was discussed in April. Participants pondered the unexpected ending.
Facilitator: Susan Young

KNITTING GROUP

The "Cultured Pearls" meet every Thursday afternoon @ 3 P.M. at the Library. All levels - including beginners - are encouraged to join the group headed by Pat Wishart of the Library Staff. It is a time for socializing as well as sharing knitting information and assistance with other knitters. The group has proven very successful in encouraging those who are new to the craft as well as those who have enjoyed the knitting (or crocheting) for many years. Drop by any Thursday afternoon to try your hand at 'Knit three, Purl Three' !
