In June of 2005, Polson's father and step-mother, veteran wilderness enthusiasts, were victims of an incredibly rare grizzly bear attack as they camped along the banks of the Hulahula River in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. On the one-year anniversary of their deaths, Polson set on out her own arctic journey, retracing her parents' last rafting trip and exploring the majestic wilderness where they spent their final days. Described by Terry Tempest Williams as "soulful and brave," North of Hope chronicles this powerful journey. She will read from her book and a signing will follow.

Country Bookshelf Book Club Tuesday, May 28 at 7pm This month we will revisit E. M. Forester's classic, A Passage to India. Ranked among the greatest novels of the twentieth century, A Passage to India is the classic account of the clash of cultures in British India after the turn of the century. With careful crafting, exquisite prose, and a well developed sense of irony, Forster reveals the menace lurking just beneath the surface of ordinary life, as a common misunderstanding erupts into a devastating affair. Newcomers are always welcome! |

Kid's Book Club (Ages 8-11) Thursday, May 30 at 4pm This month we will be discussing The True Meaning of Smekday by Adam Rex. When twelve-year-old Gratuity "Tip" Tucci is assigned to write as essay on "The True Meaning of Smekday", she's not sure where to begin. Her story is much, much bigger than the assignment. It involves an unlikely friendship with a renegade alien mechanic named J.Lo.; a futile journey to find Gratuity's mother at the Happy Mouse Kingdom; a cross-country road trip in a hovercar called Slushious; and an outrageous plan to save the Earth from yet another alien invasion. Cindy leads the discussion. Newcomers welcome. |
