Wednesday, June 27 at 3:00pm
All discussions take place on the last Wednesday of the month at 3:00pm
The next monthly meeting of the book club will be on Wednesday, June 27, at 3:00. We will discuss “The German Girl” by Armando Correa. This novel tells the story of a family fleeing Germany in 1939, shortly before the outbreak of World War II. The ship, the St Louis, was bound for Cuba, but on arrival the passengers were not allowed to land. The United States and Canada also refused admittance, and the refugees were forced to return to Europe. This is a story that is relevant to our own times.
Copies of the book available to loan by request. New members always welcome!
On Monday February 12th @ 4:00pm, we offered a free painting class for kids. Our library was packed with kids and their parents; we counted 37 kids and 15 adults. It was a wonderful afternoon!
Thank you, Clarissa Elliott Kendall for facilitating this class and Jodi Wohlleb from Rusted Feather Farm for baking the delicious sweet treats.
