A new non-fiction book club at the Library kicks off in January! We will explore non-fiction books and pair them with related films. The discussion on a chosen history book happens on the first Friday of each Month at 5 pm, (except in January) in the Montana Room, and a film related to the book will be shown on the second Thursday of each month at 5:30 pm in the Cordingley Room. The book club is led by volunteer Sam Sweeney, a former military interpreter, freelance writer, and founder of the Mesopotamia Relief Foundation in northeastern Syria.
January: The Hundred Year Walk (book) & The Cut (film)
Our first book we will discuss on Friday, January 8 is The Hundred Year Walk by Dawn MacKeen and is available at the front desk of the Library. This will be paired with the film The Cut (2014) directed by Fatih Akin. The film will be screened on Thursday, January 14.
