Hi everyone, here is our monthly book club meeting reminder post!

Our August Book Club for Adults gathering will be held at the library this Friday, August 8, from 3:00 – 4:00 p.m.

We are doing something a bit different this month and reading a graphic novel, A First Time For Everything by Dan Santat.

A First Time For Everything won a National Book Award in 2023 for Young People’s Literature, and it is a bit of a bildungsroman.

And although the book is classified as fiction, it is based on a true story, in essence the experiences of the author Dan Santat who, as most of us do, found it challenging to be young, attending school and dealing with other students who were also finding their way in the world, and not always being kind to others while doing so. The book cumulates with Dan going on a class trip to France and finding his first real girlfriend, and basically, just growing up a bit. The graphics are well done, and it is a reasonably short read, so if you haven’t read it yet – you still have time to do so! Copies of the novel are available at the Circulation Desk.

And looking forward to September, we’ll be meeting on Friday, September 12 and our September read is: The Midnight Library by Matthew Haig, copies of that novel too may be picked up at the Circulation Desk at any time.

Hope everyone is having a good summer, and I hope to see you all on Friday,

Linda Reimer, SSCL
