"THE HOUSE GIRL" BOOK DISCUSSION FEB. 9
The Library's Book Group is reading "The House Girl" by Tara Conklin and will discuss it on Thursday, Feb. 9 at 10:30 a.m. at the library.  This is an open book discussion group- everyone is welcome!
 
Alternating between antebellum Virginia and modern-day New York, this searing tale of art and history, love and secrets explores what it means to repair a wrong, and ask whether truth is sometimes more important than justice.
 
FMI, go to the Library's website or get your copy of the book at the Library!
