Library
All are welcome at the Central Library Friends book discussion of Barbara Kingsolver's Prodigal Summer, Thursday, July 28, from 10:30-11:30 a.m.
In a beautiful hymn to wildness, Kingsolver celebrates the prodigal spirit of human nature and of nature itself. Over the course of one humid summer, as the urge to procreate takes over the countryside, the novel's characters find their connections to one another in the forested mountains of southern Appalachia.
The Friends Book club usually meets the fourth Thursday of each month. For more information call 703-228-7689.
