This month we will be reading, "The Great Circle" by Maggie Shipstead.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A TODAY SHOW #ReadWithJenna BOOK CLUB PICK • The unforgettable story of a daredevil female aviator determined to chart her own course in life, at any cost: an “epic trip—through Prohibition and World War II, from Montana to London to present-day Hollywood—and you’ll relish every minute” (People).

The Great Circle can be found on OverDrive as an audiobook: https://nh.overdrive.com/media/5704009

Books will be available at the main desk in early April. We provide regular print, large print, and audio when it is available. If you would like an alternative format, please let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request!

The Book Club meets on the last Friday of the month at 11 am. We read both fiction and non-fiction. All are welcome to our discussions.
