Scotch Plains Public Library Announces May Book Club Options

Join one of the Scotch Plains Public Library’s many book clubs.

On Monday, May 6 at 10 am, the library will host Bagels & Books, where book-lovers share their recent reading experiences with other bibliophiles and pick up suggestions for future reading. Light refreshments will be served. Registration is required.

The library’s longstanding Evening and Afternoon Book Clubs will meet on May 20 and May 21 respectively.

On Monday, May 20 at 7 pm, the Evening Book Club will discuss Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee. Originally written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman was the novel Harper Lee first submitted to her publishers before To Kill a Mockingbird. Assumed to have been lost, the manuscript was discovered in late 2014 and later published.

On Tuesday, May 21 at 1 pm, the Afternoon Book Club will discuss The Wilding Sisters by Eve Chase. An evocative novel in the vein of Kate Morton and Daphne du Maurier, in which the thrill of first love clashes with the bonds of sisterhood, and all will be tested by the dark secret at the heart of Applecote Manor.
