The next Friends of the Library Reading Group selection will be Life of Pi by Yann Martel. The group will meet on Wednesday October 4th in the atrium room of the Community Center at 7:30 PM. Copies are available in the library.
The atrium room is on the top floor. Take the elevator from the Grant Avenue entrance area or climb the stairs near the Maple Avenue walkway. Handicapped parking is available just outside the Grant Avenue door, right across from the side entrance to Piney Branch school.
A note about this book - a number of our readers have said "Don't give up before you've passed the 75 page mark."
