About this event

All Adults. For the next 10 months, join us as we read books that focus on death. From various points of view, in a variety of narratives and styles, we will explore modern and classic writings about we talk and think about, and handle the end. October's read is The Ferryman and His Wife, by Frode Grytten. Ferry driver Nils Vik navigates his final route as voices from his past emerge, reflecting on his life and awaiting his late wife Marta. Death Book Club normally meets the 4th Tuesday of each month, barring holidays. In October, we need to meet on the 20th due to Halloween. Copies of each book will be available at the Grove Hall Branch circulation desk. Register by calling the branch or by emailing [email protected]. Accessibility Notice: We strive to make our events accessible. To request a disability accommodation and/or language services, contact the department listed in the "Contact Info" pane on the right. Please allow at least two weeks to arrange accommodation.
