Book Clubbing at PMPL—long and short

Did you know that Pocono Mountain Public Library has two book clubs all year round? We have our regular book club coming up on March 14 (Tuesday at 2 p.m.), where we’ll be discussing Tara Westover’s New York Times Best Seller, Educated.

Westover’s book is a powerful memoir describing the author’s isolated childhood. Being born to a survivalist family in Idaho, Westover had her first classroom experience at the edge of 17. Westover describes her parents’ beliefs, and violent behavior of her brother, and her thirst for education which leads her to Harvard and Cambridge University. It’s incredibly inspiring and a page-turner.

But if you don’t have the time for reading an entire book, consider our Short Story Book Club on March 7 (also, Tuesday at 2 p.m.) where we’ll be reading Agatha Christie’s “The Love Detectives.”

Satherwaite and Quin set out to solve the murder of Sir Dwight, and it looks like the widow and her lover did it. But are things as they seem? The answer to this question might arise from the most unexpected of circumstances. Copies of this story are available at the circ desk.

If you’re interested in participating in either book club, call 570894-8860 #2 or email joe@poconolibrary.org for a copy of Educated and/or “The Love Detectives.” Also, check out our website www. poconolibrary.org where you can learn about what other programs PMPL has got to offer.

PMPL has tons of programming for both kids and adults. Plus, the library has e-book platforms, computers, printing, and hotspots and Chromebooks that patrons who live in Mount Pocono and Coolbaugh Township can check out.
