You’re Invited to Our Evening Book Club

Posted Jan 27, 2015

The Shorewood Public Library is starting its very own evening book group, and we want you to join us!  Meeting the first Wednesday of every month at 7:00 PM, we will explore a diverse selection of books, including fiction and non-fiction titles a like.  This is a great opportunity to talk about what you’ve read, learn something new, discover new books, and meet new friends.     

Our first meeting is Wednesday, March 4th, and our first book is Shorewood Reads 2015’s Shotgun Lovesongs by Nickolas Butler!

Sharing a childhood in small-town Wisconsin before going their separate ways with careers and families, Hank, Leland, Kip and Ronny are reunited during a visit marked by culture clashes, respective pursuits of meaning and a woman who inspires passion in each of them.

Upcoming titles include:

Wednesday, April 1st: Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics by Daniel James Brown

Traces the story of an American rowing team from the University of Washington that defeated elite rivals at Hitler's 1936 Berlin Olympics, sharing the experiences of such contributors as their enigmatic coach, a visionary boat builder and a homeless teen rower.

Wednesday, May 6th: The Light Between Oceans by M. L. Stedman

Moving his young bride to an isolated lighthouse home on Australia's Janus Rock where the couple suffers miscarriages and a stillbirth, Tom allows his wife to claim an infant that has washed up on the shore, a decision with devastating consequences.

After that, you decide!  We want to know what you want to read, and upcoming titles will be selected by group participants.

All are welcome, and we look forward to seeing you!
