Second Friday Book Group*

Adventure writer,
Peter Heller, has written his first novel, The Dog Stars, a riveting
tale of a pilot living in a world filled with loss. In a
post-apocalyptic world, a flu pandemic has killed off most of the
world’s population. The story’s hero longs for earlier days when a
random transmission beams through his radio, giving him hope of better
things “out there.” The library provides a beverage. At noon, we’ll
begin our informal discussion of this fascinating novel. No registration
required. Our book for discussion in April will be Transatlantic by
Colum McCann, chosen by the Allegheny County Library Association for its
yearly One Book, One Community selection. Book groups and discussion
groups all over the county will read the same book. Colum McCann will be
a featured speaker on March 10 at the Monday Night Lecture Series at
Heinz Hall.
