Join us for the first book of the Summer Book Club: The Women in Black by Madeleine St. John. There are some copies available at the local library (or you can have it sent from another branch). Join us as we start the Summer by taking a break from all the heaviness.

"This little novel powered me through the first dismaying weeks of the pandemic and, immediately after reading it, I ordered five more copies to distribute as “emergency mental health reading” for friends having a tough time. Written in 1993 and published in America for the first time, The Women in Black is set in a fictional Australian department store in the 1950s and focuses on four saleswomen who work in the “better dresses” department. Tart, beguiling, witty and compassionate, Madeleine St. John’s novel is a literary boost for the spirits."
