Southworth Events – Adults

The theme for this month’s genre book club is “Spooky Stories”.  Pick a mystery, thriller, horror or any other spooky book to read.  Stop by the library to get some suggestions at our display in the lobby.

This club meets at Hopshire Farm & Brewery, so join us there for our genre based book club on the third Thursday of the month at 6 pm.

Bring a snack to share if you would like.

ALL ARE WELCOME!

This month we'll be reading Violeta by Isabel Allende.  Copies of the book will be available at Southworth Library.  We'll be meeting at the library and light refreshments will be served.  All are welcome.

Violeta tells her story, recounting times of devastating heartbreak and passionate affairs, poverty and wealth, terrible loss and immense joy. Her life is shaped by some of the most important events of history: the fight for women’s rights, the rise and fall of tyrants, and ultimately not one, but two pandemics.

Join the conversation on creating a welcoming atmosphere in our civic building work and overcoming challenges we face.
Facilitated by Jamila Walida Simon, PhD and Mike Bishop, PhD

Pause with us to reflect on:

• Showing up for each other
• Taking risks to challenge oppression
• Creating a sense of belonging for all

FREE and open to all with a mind for human dignity for all!
(Attendance at our first two sessions is not required to attend this final session of the series)
Free printed copies of Mike’s Finding ways through the wall of white supremacy will be available.

Have you heard about the new trendy reading groups where people gather to read silently? We’ll meet after hours at the library, spend some time getting snacks, and grab a book from our pile to keep. Then find a cozy seat and read in a room with other readers, no conversation required!

You can pick up a free copy of Mickey 17 by Edward Ashton or you can bring your own book to read.

This book group book is appropriate for ages 16+. Light refreshments will be served.

No registration is necessary.
