Adult Book Club

Join us for a special edition of our Adult Book Club!  This is the first event being held at the new library and also includes special guest speakers, Carrie Jacobs and Tone the MoveMaker from the CultureALL organization's Open Book program.

This month's book is The Moth Presents All These Wonders: True Stories About Facing the Unknown, edited by Catherine Burns.

Carefully selected by the creative minds at The Moth, and adapted to the page to preserve the raw energy of live storytelling, All These Wonders features voices both familiar and new. Alongside Louis C.K., Tig Notaro, John Turturro, and Meg Wolitzer, readers will encounter: an astronomer gazing at the surface of Pluto for the first time, an Afghan refugee learning how much her father sacrificed to save their family, a hip-hop star coming to terms with being a one-hit wonder, a young female spy risking everything as part of Churchill's secret army during World War II, and more.
High-school student and neuroscientist alike, the storytellers share their ventures into uncharted territory and how their lives were changed indelibly by what they discovered there. With passion, and humor, they encourage us all to be more open, vulnerable, and alive.            (From Goodreads.com)
