One Book, One Town
 Come
join us as we
discuss, The Help by Kathryn Stockett, in our fifth annual
Friends of the Library sponsored, "One
Book, One Town" book read. This year it will be
sponsored in conjunction with the Marshall County Book Club during their
regular meeting on Monday, April 5.
"One Book, One Town" is a community-wide reading project that encourages
all residents to read the same book at the same time and then discuss it
with their friends and family. Selections from past gatherings
have included To Kill a Mockingbird, The Secret Life of Bees, A
Thousand Splendid Suns and Three Cups of Tea.
For the fourth year, former Plymouth High School English teacher, Ann
Liechty will lead a stimulating discussion.
The library has several copies available for check out. Books are also
available at City News and Books in Plymouth at a 20% discount.
Monday, April 5, 6 - 8 p.m.
Laramore Rooms
Plymouth Public Library
Light refreshments mirroring the timeframe of the
book will be served.
Discussion questions from the publisher may be found
here.
Caution!
It is likely that the discussion questions will
reveal, or at least allude to, key plot details. Therefore, if you
haven’t yet read this book, but are planning on doing so, you may wish
to proceed with caution to avoid spoiling your later enjoyment.
