Members of the the community are invited to attend the free programs, which will take place in the library community room. 
*For RaffleMania, each book read or event attended earns 1 ticket.

• RESCHEDULED - Thursday, February 28, 2008  at 6:30 p.m. Ann Birney of Admire will lead the discussion of Fanny Flagg’s Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe’, about a community of offbeat women joinging together to make something inclusive, enduring, and staisfying.

• Thursday, March 20 at 6:30 p.m. Al Pursell of Leavenworth will lead the discussion of Cannery Row by: John Steinbeck a classic story of a group of loners considered lazy and shiftless, who survive at the fringes of a fishing and canning community of the California coast.

• Thursday, April 24 at 6:30 p.m.  Susan Rieke of Leavenworth leads the discussion of Snow Falling on Cedars by: David Guterson a tender story of a Japeanese American on trial for the murder of a local fisherman in the early 1950s. But the novel is also about the intertwined yet separate lives of two communities on the small island of San Piedro in Puget Sound.

“Community: the Way We Live” visits both rural and urban communities, each with a unique message about how people find ways to live together and depend upon one another for support and tolerance.
