You’re invited to Johnston Public Library Adult Book Club on the second Thursday of every month. This month’s book is Will Schwalbe’s memoir The End of Your Life Book Club.
This “profoundly moving memoir of caregiving, mourning, and love…is about the joy of reading, and the ways that joy is multiplied when we share it with others.” Conversation is guaranteed to be lively and free coffee, treats, and good company are provided. No registration is necessary; books are available at the Circulation Desk while supplies last.
