Last week, we discussed The Zookeeper's Daugher by Diane Ackerman. Amazing is the word that describes the true events taking place in Poland during World War II. Ackerman tells the story of Antonia and her husband Jon and how they managed to save over 300 Jewish people from the Nazis. This true story of the Warsaw Zoo, Warsaw's Jewish ghetto and the Polish Resistance gives the reader a unique glimpse of World War II. On a scale of 1 to 5, the book ended up being rated as a 3.5.
Just a few reminders: the library will be closed April 21 through April 26 while we convert our computers to a new, improved computer system. The I Borrow System that allows us to obtain books from other libraries in the state will not be available for use until May 1.
Our next Book Group meeting will be on Wednesday, April 16, to discuss Emily Allen Garland's book: Giving A Voice to the Ancestors. We look forward to meeting the author and discussing her book with her. Coffee and dessert will be provided. I encourage everyone to attend this special evening even if you don't get time to finish the book. I hope to see you all in April.
