The Bookless Wonders (A Reinvention of the Modern Book Club) : The Few, The Proud, The Bookless.

Owl

Do you love the IDEA of a book club, but hate the restrictions of having to read a certain book by a certain time and, then, participate in a limited conversation of JUST one book a month? Well... there are others just like you! The patrons of Northwest Library have come up with a great idea; the bookless book club. We are going to try it out and see if it flies. Folks will be meeting every 2nd Monday at 2:00 PM to discuss books/life/interests and any other thing we feel like! So yes, we are a bookless book club, but we are bibliophiles that enjoy the company of other bibliophiles!

Have you seen an Assyrian Warrior on the loose in the library?

Recently, Art Agent, Cecilia Samuel, installed an exhibit of fine art at the library. There are three significant pieces by Artist David Lamont. Lamont takes ancient wall engravings and relief images and recreates them in exact detail. His Assyrian Warrior stands over 9' tall. Come and check out his work as it will only be here for one month.
