Together we read! And we invite YOU to join our book club…
Every other month, a different Community Library staff member will choose a book and host a book discussion. Our exciting new book club features a wide array of genres, including popular fiction, science fiction, narrative nonfiction, literary fiction … even graphic novels. There’s something for every reader, and participants can drop in for one session or attend them all!
August's pick is The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. The discussion will be led by Information Systems manager Will Duke.
The Library has multiple copies of The Graveyard circulating in our collection. Please come in or talk to our librarians about reserving a copy.

About The Graveyard Book:
Bod is an unusual boy who inhabits an unusual place-he's the only living resident of a graveyard. Raised from infancy by the ghosts, werewolves, and other cemetery denizens, Bod has learned the antiquated customs of his guardians' time as well as their timely ghostly teachings-like the ability to Fade. Can a boy raised by ghosts face the wonders and terrors of the worlds of both the living and the dead? And then there are things like ghouls that aren't really one thing or the other. This chilling tale is Neil Gaiman's first full-length novel for middle-grade readers since the internationally bestselling and universally acclaimed Coraline. Like Coraline, this book is sure to enchant and surprise young readers as well as Neil Gaiman's legion of adult fans.
Note: This book club is intended for adults, though this will be our first book club novel that was written for a younger audience, and younger readers are welcome!
