The library's book discussion group meet on Wednesday, Oct. 2 at noon, to discuss "These is my words" by Nancy Turner. This discussion, open to the public, will be held in the lower level meeting room at the library.

Some copies of each month's book selection are available for checkout previous to each book discussion. The group meets the first Wednesday of every month.

Book synopsis
A moving, exciting, and heartfelt American saga inspired by the author's own family memoirs, these words belong to Sarah Prine, a woman of spirit and fire who forges a full and remarkable existence in a harsh, unfamiliar frontier. Scrupulously recording her steps down the path Providence has set her upon—from child to determined young adult to loving mother—she shares the turbulent events, both joyous and tragic, that molded her, and recalls the enduring love with cavalry officer Captain Jack Elliot that gave her strength and purpose.

Rich in authentic everyday details and alive with truly unforgettable characters, These Is My Words brilliantly brings a vanished world to breathtaking life again.
