Justine Rogers, Library Director, asked me to let you know about a new book group at the library. – Lil
“A Non-Fiction History reading group exploring Ancient, Current, and Future History”
Looking for 6-8 members.
Meetings will be held at the Library on the 1st Tuesday of each month, 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM Our first meeting of the season will be Tuesday, November 3.
On their own, each member will select and present the monthly subject; a book, a scholarly article, a historical opinion, a theory, a map, a “What If” scenario.
The subject can be narrow or broad; the saga to the cure for Tuberculosis, “If Lincoln had not freed the Slaves”, “Nickel and Dimed – or not getting by in America”, The Peloponnesian Wars.
The member will present a summary, and pose the initial discussion questions.
Two months in advance of the meeting, The Library Director, Justine Rogers, will be notified of the book, article or study materials required.
The first subject and central source material will be “Flashpoints: The Emerging Crisis in Europe” by George Friedman. Copies are available at the library.

Marya, I wanted you to know that I mentioned your interest in the book group to Justine. She wants to be sure that you get your reading materials from the library so you can “do your homework”. (Yes, I am a retired teacher.)
