Georgetown
Neighborhood Library

Was
one of your New Year’s resolutions to read more?  Attend meetings of
the Georgetown Book Club, and you’ll read at least 12 great books this
year, plus have a chance to discuss them with your neighbors. 

We meet the third Thursday of the month at 7:30 p.m. and read mostly contemporary literary fiction with an occasional popular nonfiction title thrown in. All book lovers (or aspiring book lovers) are welcome, as are people who just want to attend occasionally when the book appeals to them. 

Looking for a good book to read this winter? Please feel free to check out our latest arrivals, such as "Decoded" by Jay-Z or "Fall of Giants" by Ken Follett. If your still undecided just ask one of our Librarians and they will be glad to help.

In 2005, Jeannette Walls' The Glass Castle stayed on the New York Times bestseller list for over 100 weeks. The memoir concerns her unconventional upbringing, which took place all over the country, from the deserts of Arizona to a coal town in West Virginia. 

Last year, Walls published a new story, Half Broke Horses, which tells a fictionalized version of her grandmother's life as a cowgirl, flapper and landowner in Texas.  If you've read (or plan to read) either of these books, come join us in a casual discussion of them on Thursday, December 16, at 7:30 p.m. 

You can finally begin to unclutter your bookshelves (to make room for new acquisitions, naturally) and support your library at the same time.  Our Friends group is now ready to accept book donations for the library book sale.  Bring any books that are in good condition to our circulation desk for donation.  No textbooks please.
