SUMMARY:Edgar: Book Club: "The Measure" by Nikki Erlick
DESCRIPTION:Join library staff and other book lovers for engaging discussions of books each month! In April\, the group will discuss “The Measure” by Nikki Erlick. \nWhen every person across the globe receives a small wooden box bearing the same inscription and a single piece of string inside\, the world is thrown into a collective frenzy in this novel\, told through multiple perspectives that introduces an unforgettable cast of characters. It seems like any other day: You wake up\, pour a cup of coffee\, and head out. But today when you open your front door\, waiting for you is a small wooden box. This box holds your fate inside: the answer to 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? \nNo registration is required\, and all are welcome! For more information\, please contact us at 715-352-3155.

SUMMARY:Hatley: Book Club: “The Women” by Kristin Hannah
DESCRIPTION:Join library staff and other book lovers for engaging discussions of books each month! In April\, the group will discuss “The Women” by Kristin Hannah. \nWomen can be heroes. When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances “Frankie” McGrath hears these words\, it is a revelation. Raised in the sun-drenched\, idyllic world of Southern California and sheltered by her conservative parents\, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing. But in 1965\, the world is changing\, and she suddenly dares to imagine a different future for herself. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam\, she joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path. “The Women” is the story of one woman gone to war\, but it shines a light on all women who put themselves in harm’s way and whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has too often been forgotten. A novel about deep friendships and bold patriotism\, “The Women” is a richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose idealism and courage under fire will come to define an era. \nEveryone is welcome to join the discussion. No registration is required. Stop by the library for a copy of the book to check out! For more information\, please contact us at 715-446-3537.

SUMMARY:Athens: Book Club: “Handle with Care” by Jodi Picoult
DESCRIPTION:Join library staff and other book lovers for engaging discussions of books each month! In April\, the group will discuss “Handle with Care” by Jodi Picoult. \nIn the five years since Willow O’Keefe was born with a rare congenital disorder\, her parents have endured sleepless nights\, mounting medical bills\, and the pitying stares of strangers. A whip-smart child\, kind\, brave\, and an unexpectedly deep source of wisdom\, she is beloved by her family—but the burden of her care has strained them to the limit. And when her mother seeks to do Willow justice\, alienating those closest to her in the process\, she must confront the most serious question of all: What constitutes a valuable life? \nNo registration is required\, and all are welcome!
