SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Our Book Club 2021 Challenge is “Reading Colors Your World.” February is Fuchsia!\n\nJoin us this month in discussing Lock Every Door by Riley Sager.\nAs usual\, masking and distancing required. \nNo visitors. No nights spent away from the apartment. No disturbing the other residents\, all of whom are rich or famous or both. These are the only rules for Jules Larsen’s new job as an apartment sitter at the Bartholomew\, one of Manhattan’s most high-profile and mysterious buildings. Recently heartbroken and just plain broke\, Jules is taken in by the splendor of her surroundings and accepts the terms\, ready to leave her past life behind. \nAs she gets to know the residents and staff of the Bartholomew\, Jules finds herself drawn to fellow apartment sitter Ingrid\, who comfortingly\, disturbingly reminds her of the sister she lost eight years ago. When Ingrid confides that the Bartholomew is not what it seems and the dark history hidden beneath its gleaming facade is starting to frighten her\, Jules brushes it off as a harmless ghost story—until the next day\, when Ingrid disappears. \nSearching for the truth about Ingrid’s disappearance\, Jules digs deeper into the Bartholomew’s dark past and into the secrets kept within its walls. Her discovery that Ingrid is not the first apartment sitter to go missing at the Bartholomew pits Jules against the clock as she races to unmask a killer\, expose the building’s hidden past\, and escape the Bartholomew before her temporary status becomes permanent.

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Our Book Club 2021 Challenge is “Reading Colors Your World.” March is Green!\n\nJoin us this month in discussing Green Mansions by W.H. Hudson.\n\nAs usual\, masking and distancing required. \n\n\nA failed revolutionary attempt drives the hero of Hudson’s novel to seek refuge in the primeval forests of south-western Venezuela. There\, in the ‘green mansions’ of the title\, Abel encounters the wood-nymph Rima\, the last survivor of a mysterious aboriginal race. The love that flowers between them is soon overshadowed by cruelty and sorrow… One of the acknowledged masters of natural history writing\, W. H. Hudson forms an important link between nineteenth-century Romanticism and the twentieth-century ecological movement. \nFirst published in 1904 and a bestseller after its reissue a dozen years later\, Green Mansions offers its readers a poignant meditation on the loss of wilderness\, the dream of a return to nature\, and the bitter reality of the encounter between savage and civilized man.

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Our Book Club 2021 Challenge is “Reading Colors Your World.” April is Wine Red!\n\nJoin us this month in discussing Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia.\n\nAs usual\, masking and distancing required. \n\n\n After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom\, Noemí Taboada heads to High Place\, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She’s not sure what she will find—her cousin’s husband\, a handsome Englishman\, is a stranger\, and Noemí knows little about the region. \nNoemí is also an unlikely rescuer: She’s a glamorous debutante\, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she’s also tough and smart\, with an indomitable will\, and she is not afraid: Not of her cousin’s new husband\, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father\, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noemí; and not even of the house itself\, which begins to invade Noemí’s dreams with visions of blood and doom. \nHer only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family’s youngest son. Shy and gentle\, he seems to want to help Noemí\, but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family’s past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family’s once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes\, but as Noemí digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness. \nAnd Noemí\, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place\, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic house behind.

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Our Book Club 2021 Challenge is “Reading Colors Your World.” May is Orange!\n\n\nJoin us this month in discussing There There by Tommy Orange.\n\nAs usual\, masking and distancing required. \n\nTommy Orange’s wondrous and shattering novel follows twelve characters from Native communities: all traveling to the Big Oakland Powwow\, all connected to one another in ways they may not yet realize. Among them is Jacquie Red Feather\, newly sober and trying to make it back to the family she left behind. Dene Oxendene\, pulling his life together after his uncle’s death and working at the powwow to honor his memory. Fourteen-year-old Orvil\, coming to perform traditional dance for the very first time. Together\, this chorus of voices tells of the plight of the urban Native American–grappling with a complex and painful history\, with an inheritance of beauty and spirituality\, with communion and sacrifice and heroism. Hailed as an instant classic\, There There is at once poignant and unflinching\, utterly contemporary and truly unforgettable. (via goodreads)

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Our Book Club 2021 Challenge is “Reading Colors Your World.” June is Yellow!\n\nJoin us this month in discussing Conversion by Katherine Howe.\n\nAs usual\, masking and distancing required. \n\n\n It’s senior year at St. Joan’s Academy\, and school is a pressure cooker. College applications\, the battle for valedictorian\, deciphering boys’ texts: Through it all\, Colleen Rowley and her friends are expected to keep it together. Until they can’t. \nFirst it’s the school’s queen bee\, Clara Rutherford\, who suddenly falls into uncontrollable tics in the middle of class. Her mystery illness quickly spreads to her closest clique of friends\, then more students and symptoms follow: seizures\, hair loss\, violent coughing fits. St. Joan’s buzzes with rumor; rumor blossoms into full-blown panic. \nSoon the media descends on Danvers\, Massachusetts\, as everyone scrambles to find something\, or someone\, to blame. Pollution? Stress? Or are the girls faking? Only Colleen—who’s been reading The Crucible for extra credit—comes to realize what nobody else has. Inspired by true events—from seventeenth-century colonial life to the halls of a modern-day high school\, this is the mystery that raises the question\, what’s really happening to the girls at St. Joan’s?

SUMMARY:Collaborative Summer Reading Week 1: Bat Boxes
DESCRIPTION:This Wednesday kicked off our Summer Reading program\, and was our first time collaborating with Darlene at the Clymer-French Creek Free Library.  The bat box extravaganza was a huge success!  We had a great time learning about bats and bat boxes\, their role in our environment\, and how we can help bring them back from the brink of extinction. We listened to a story about bats playing baseball\, and then decorated many lovely new homes to keep our bat friends cozy and warm (thanks to a coat of black paint).\n\n\nMany thanks to Molly Brown from Cornell Cooperative Extension for constructing all 49 bat boxes and for teaching us so much! And thanks to the Community Support Group- Summer Recreation for making this event possible! (Special shout out to Emma for helping us paint all the boxes—someone better make you a Thank You cake! )

SUMMARY:Collaborative Summer Reading Week 2: Kaylee & Luckee
DESCRIPTION:Week two of our collaborative Summer Reading program with the Clymer – French Creek Free Library may have been a bit more rainy than last week\, but we still had a great time hearing stories and learning about training and agility with Kaylee and her dog\, Luckee! We learned about commands\, different types of collars and leashes\, and what kinds of things judges expect when Luckee shows off his skills. Many thanks to Miss Darlene for reading some stories\, and to Kaylee (and her mom) and Luckee for a fun-filled morning!

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Our Book Club 2021 Challenge is “Reading Colors Your World.” July is Blue!\n\nJoin us this month in discussing Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk.\n\nAs usual\, masking and distancing required.  \n \nIn a remote Polish village\, Janina devotes the dark winter days to studying astrology\, translating the poetry of William Blake\, and taking care of the summer homes of wealthy Warsaw residents. Her reputation as a crank and a recluse is amplified by her not-so-secret preference for the company of animals over humans. Then a neighbor\, Big Foot\, turns up dead. Soon other bodies are discovered\, in increasingly strange circumstances. As suspicions mount\, Janina inserts herself into the investigation\, certain that she knows whodunit. If only anyone would pay her mind. \nA deeply satisfying thriller cum fairy tale\, Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead is a provocative exploration of the murky borderland between sanity and madness\, justice and tradition\, autonomy and fate. Whom do we deem sane? it asks. Who is worthy of a voice?

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Our Book Club 2021 Challenge is “Reading Colors Your World.” September is Sand Dollar!\n\n\nJoin us this month in discussing The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce.\n\nMasking and distancing recommended. \n\nMeet Harold Fry\, recently retired. He lives in a small English village with his wife\, Maureen\, who seems irritated by almost everything he does\, even down to how he butters his toast. Little differentiates one day from the next. Then one morning the mail arrives\, and within the stack of quotidian minutiae is a letter addressed to Harold in a shaky scrawl from a woman he hasn’t seen or heard from in twenty years. Queenie Hennessy is in hospice and is writing to say goodbye. \nHarold pens a quick reply and\, leaving Maureen to her chores\, heads to the corner mailbox. But then\, as happens in the very best works of fiction\, Harold has a chance encounter\, one that convinces him that he absolutely must deliver his message to Queenie in person. And thus begins the unlikely pilgrimage. Harold Fry is determined to walk six hundred miles from Kingsbridge to the hospice in Berwick-upon-Tweed because\, he believes\, as long as he walks\, Queenie Hennessey will live. \nStill in his yachting shoes and light coat\, Harold embarks on his urgent quest across the countryside. Along the way he meets one character after another\, each of whom unlocks his long-dormant spirit and sense of promise. Memories of his first dance with Maureen\, his wedding day\, his joy in fatherhood\, come rushing back to him – allowing him to also reconcile the losses and the regrets. As for Maureen\, she finds herself missing Harold for the first time in years. \nAnd then there is the unfinished business with Queenie Hennessy. (via goodreads)

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Our Book Club 2021 Challenge is “Reading Colors Your World.” October is Emerald! \n\n\nJoin us this month in discussing The House Girl by Tara Conklin.\n\nMasking and distancing recommended. \n\nA stunning debut novel of love\, family\, and justice that intertwines the stories of an escaped house slave in 1852 Virginia and ambitious young lawyer in contemporary New York. \nVirginia\, 1852. Seventeen-year-old Josephine Bell decides to run from the failing tobacco farm where she is a slave and nurse to her ailing mistress\, the aspiring artist Lu Anne Bell. \nNew York City\, 2004. Lina Sparrow\, an ambitious first-year associate in an elite law firm\, is given a difficult\, highly sensitive assignment that could make her career: she must find the “perfect plaintiff” to lead a historic class-action lawsuit worth trillions of dollars in reparations for descendants of American slaves. \nIt is through her father\, the renowned artist Oscar Sparrow\, that Lina discovers Josephine Bell and a controversy roiling the art world: are the iconic paintings long ascribed to Lu Anne Bell really the work of her house slave\, Josephine? A descendant of Josephine’s would be the perfect face for the reparations lawsuit – if Lina can find one. While following the runaway girl’s faint trail through old letters and plantation records\, Lina finds herself questioning her own family history and the secrets that her father has never revealed: How did Lina’s mother die? And why will he never speak about her? \nMoving between antebellum Virginia and modern-day New York\, this searing\, suspenseful and heartbreaking tale of art and history\, love and secrets\, explores what it means to repair a wrong and asks whether truth is sometimes more important than justice.
