Please let Robin know if you want to join the book club. She’ll order a book for you!

At our March book club meeting, 12 of us attended (two men and 10 women). We shared our various perspectives on the characters and themes in the book, The Orphan Train, and, in turn, related them to our own experiences growing up and to modern day life. Topics included love, belonging, connection, and loss – and, of course, children.

And our thanks to Linda for the yummy treats!

Our librarian Robin Close will be ordering copies of the following book for our March meeting: The Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline. Please contact Robin if you are interested in joining the book club!

On a side note: February’s book club meeting centered around a lively discussion about The Right Side by Spencer Quinn. There were 13 of us! Three men & 10 women. We covered a number of topics stemming from this book, including duty, war, the culture within the military, gender differences, and the blessing of dogs. It was very helpful to hear both the male and female perspectives on these various subjects. And we enjoyed tea, coffee, cake, and ice cream!

The next Ola Book Club meeting will be held at the Library on Saturday, February 24th.  We will begin at 11:30 and end at 1:00  We will be discussing the book The Right Side by Spencer Quinn.

If you would like to join us, please contact Robin Close at the Library.
