Book Clubs

Now that the weather is warmer, are you ready to get out of the house a little more often and meet some new people? If so, we hope you'll join us for one of our great Book Clubs! Ostrander Book Club meets late morning; consider keeping the conversation going at lunch afterward! If you'd rather sleep in, both Orange and Delaware Libraries have afternoon book club meetings. If you're busy during the day, try our Liberty Evening Book Club, starting at 5:30. We even offer a club especially for romance novel enthusiasts! To see all upcoming book club meetings, both in person and virtual, just click the button below. We can't wait to see you!

The Symphony's 46th concert season concludes with a variety of music from around the world! Renowned Puerto Rican trombonist Luis Fred will perform the Concerto Braziliano for Trombone. Students can attend Central Ohio Symphony concerts free with their DCDL card, and accompanying adults receive a discount, too!

This Month's Recommended Read

Reviewed by Betty Rodgers Raimer,

Powell resident and your fellow Mature Reader

"James" is a retelling of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," Mark Twain's 1844 classic about a young boy and grown man escaping abuse and slavery. A major point of "James" is that equality doesn't exist if some are invisible.

 

As Jim becomes James, we see him grow and seize more control over his life. Discovering his wife and daughter have been sold to a breeding farm, he is determined to free them both.

 

"James" is a much celebrated novel, and richly deserves its acclaim. I urge all the readers of this newsletter to borrow a copy from the Library!
