Rosamond Gifford Lecture Series Book Club
First meeting: 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 7
It’s latest book club in town! We will focus on the authors who will be presenting at the Friends of the Central Library’s 2017-18 Rosamond Gifford Lectures at the Civic Center in Syracuse. Whether you have series tickets or not, please join us to discuss books by great contemporary authors. Our first book will be “The Underground Railroad,” by Colson Whitehead, who is speaking on Tuesday, Sept. 12. A suspenseful tale, it combines fantasy and as well as factual information, and it is a painfully truthful depiction of American slavery. For more information, contact Nancy Howe at nancyh@bville.lib.ny.us or (315) 635-5631.
But wait — August is not over!
