May Book Discussion--Glass Castle



The next community book discussion will be held on Thursday May 12th at 7:00 p.m. in the library. This month's book is "The Glass Castle" by Jeanneatte Walls.



Jeannette Walls is a free lance journalist who grew up with her three siblings in a rather unusual family. Her parents (both quite eccentric and nomadic) had a "lassez faire" approach to child rearing. Homelessness, eating out of trash cans, alcoholism and mental illess were present along with love, whimsy, resiliance and artistic creativity. This is an unforgetable memoir!
