September’s Book Club selection will be Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. Join us on September 24th at 4pm for some afternoon refreshments while we discuss this best selling novel!
This 2006 book is about young veterinary student, Jacob Jankowski, who leaves college and joins a second-rate circus during the Great Depression. Amidst a world of freaks and misfits, Jacob finds himself in love with a beautiful young circus star and an unusual friendship with an untrainable elephant name Rosie. The story is told from Jacob’s memories, as a 93 year old man, living in a retirement home.
Stop by the library to borrow your copy of this heart warming book.
