Book Events

Senators_wife.gifThere are a variety of book events going on in the area during April, including:
Decisions, Decisions! On Tuesday April 14th there are three different book-related programs at the Library: The 2nd Tuesday Morning Book Group will be discussing Sue Miller’s The Senator’s Wife starting at 10am. Then, in the evening you have your choice of joining either the Evening Book Group (we’ll be discussing The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl) or attend the program “Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover – Dead!” featuring the “mystery mavens.”
HotelontheCorner.gifThere’s been a lot of buzz among reviewers about the new book, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford. The story is set during World War II in the ethnic neighborhoods of Seattle and the Japanese American internment camps. Anderson’s Bookshop in Naperville is hosting an author event and signing starting at 7pm on Tuesday, April 21.
Did you know that our local Borders (on the east side of St. Charles – 3539 E. Main St) also hosts a book club? On April 23 at 7pm they will be discussing the popular book, The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs.
You might want to check out Townhouse Books’ Annual Book Club Mixer on Tuesday, April 28th. From 6:30 – 8:30pm they invite all members of local book clubs (and those who would like to be) to talk books, share lists and have fun! cathie_linz.gif
Last but not least, for those who enjoy contemporary romance, you might want to see best-selling author Cathie Linz at the Glenside Public Library on Wednesday, April 29. She will read from her latest book, speak about her writing life and answer questions.
