Celebrate World Book Night at GNPAL. On Monday, April 23rd, Janet Steiner of Comcast will be at the center to give away free copies of "The Book Thief". The program begins at 4PM and only 20 copies are available. Be sure to arrive early.
"Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak’s groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel s...cratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement before he is marched to Dachau.
This is an unforgettable story about the ability of books to feed the soul."
