Rothschild: Book Club: “The Measure” by Nikki Erlick

Join other book lovers and our Rothschild Branch staff each month for discussions about a variety of books!

In November, the group will discuss “The Measure” by Nikki Erlick. Today, when you open your front door, waiting for you is a small wooden box. The contents of this mysterious box tells you the exact number of years you will live. From suburban doorsteps to desert tents, every person on every continent receives the same box. In an instant, the world is thrust into a collective frenzy. Where did these boxes come from? What do they mean? Is there truth to what they promise? As society comes together and pulls apart, everyone faces the same shocking choice: Do they wish to know how long they’ll live? And, if so, what will they do with that knowledge?

Open to adults and no registration is required – just read the book and show up! Call the Rothschild Branch at 715-359-6208 for more information.
