Do you love talking about books and enjoying delicious beverages? Then this is the book club for you! We meet monthly to discuss a book and enjoy some tasty pints.

This month's selection is Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel.

It is fifteen years after a flu pandemic wiped out most of the world's population. Kirsten is an actress with the Traveling Symphony, a small troupe moving over the gutted landscape, performing Shakespeare and music for scattered communities of survivors. But when they arrive in the outpost of St. Deborah by the Water, they encounter a violent prophet who digs graves for anyone who dares to leave. Spanning decades, moving back and forth in time, and vividly depicting life before and after the disaster brought everyone here, this suspenseful, elegiac novel is rife with beauty, telling a story about the relationships that sustain us.

Copies of the book will be available at the Check-out Desk.
