Our Monthly Book Club is a fun and engaging way to explore new stories, discuss ideas, and share your love of reading. Each month, the group focuses on a different book, giving everyone a chance to dive into a variety of genres and authors. The club is led by our event planner, Alyssa, who guides the discussion and encourages thoughtful conversation. Check out the current month’s featured book below and join us for lively discussion and community connection!
Our next book club meeting is October 6th at 6 p.m. at the library. This month’s book is The Bright Forever by Lee Martin.
The Bright Forever is a novel by Lee Martin about the disappearance of nine-year-old Katie Mackey in a small Indiana town in the 1970s, though it focuses less on the mystery of the crime and more on the profound, long-lasting impact of the tragedy, guilt, and human choices on the community. Told through multiple perspectives and complex narrative voices, the book explores themes of loneliness, regret, and the human need to uncover the truth, making for a gripping and deeply emotional tale.
