Book talk considers a classic
The Second Saturday Book Discussion Group talks about Harper Lee’s classic “To Kill a Mockingbird” at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14, at the Sequim Library.
The setting is a dusty Southern town during the Depression. A white woman accuses a black man of rape, and though he is obviously innocent, the outcome of his trial is such a foregone conclusion that no lawyer will step forward to defend him – except the town’s most distinguished citizen.
To participate, read the book and attend the discussion; no reservations are needed; drop-ins are welcome.
Copies of the title are available in various formats including regular print, large print, audiobook on CD and downloadable eBook. A limited number of copies of each book discussion selection are available at the library the month prior to each meeting.
For more information about this and other library programs, visit www.nols.org, email to discover@nols.org or call 360-683-1161.
