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 The Measure by Nikki Erlick.

It seems like any other day. You wake up, drink a cup of coffee, and head out. But today, when you open your front door, waiting for you is a small wooden box. The contents of this mysterious box tells you the exact number of years you will live. From suburban doorsteps to desert tents, every person on every continent receives the same box. In an instant, the world is thrust into a collective frenzy. Where did these boxes come from? What do they mean? Is there truth to what they promise? As society comes together and pulls apart, everyone faces the same shocking choice: Do they wish to know how long they’ll live? And, if so, what will they do with that knowledge?

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