AM Book Club

Thursday, September 17

11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Location: Shorewood Public Library Program Room

The AM Book Club is a great opportunity to talk about what you’ve read, learn something new, discover more great books, and meet new friends. Join us this month as we discuss Orbital by Samantha Harvey.

Selected for one of the last space station missions before the program is dismantled, six astronauts and cosmonauts--from America, Russia, Italy, Britain, and Japan--have left their lives behind to travel at warp speed as the earth reels below. We glimpse moments of their earthly lives through brief communications with family, their photos and talismans; we watch them whip up dehydrated meals, float in gravity-free sleep, and exercise in regimented routines to prevent atrophying muscles; we witness them form bonds that will stand between them and utter solitude. Most of all, we are with them as they behold their blue planet.

Pick up a copy at the customer service desk, or give us a call at 414 847-2670, and we would be happy to put one on hold for you.
