Book Club

Our Low Commitment Book Club meets once a season! 
Our Spring pick is "The Night Strangers" by Chris Bohajalian

                                        Chip and Emily Linton and their twin daughters move to a new house in New Hampshire.  Chip, an airline pilot, may have been responsible for the
                                deaths of 39 people during an engine failure.  They are trying to rebuild their lives.  The new house, however, is odd, and so is the town they've moved to. 
There's a strange door in the basement.  Is Chip going insane? 

Monday, May 20 @ 7:00 pm

If you previously joined the Book Club the title will be ordered for you.  If you would like to join, sign up at the Circulation Desk or call the library.
This book is also available in large print, as a downloadable e-book, and audiobook.
