Book Group on Zoom

Join us as we discuss The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams. Bright but anxious teenager Aleisha is working at the local library for the summer when she discovers a crumpled-up piece of paper in the back of To Kill a Mockingbird. It's a list of novels that she's never heard of before. When she passes along the list to a lonely widower, a connection between two lonely souls is formed, as fiction helps them escape their grief and everyday troubles and find joy again. 

Copies of the book are available at both libraries. You can also read the ebook or listen to the audiobook on Overdrive/Libby or the Hoopla app. Please email ckaufmann@clamsnet.org or call the library at 508-760-4820 to register to receive a Zoom link or with any questions.
 
If you need Zoom help, please call 508-760-4820 to set up a troubleshooting session or if you need any other assistance.

Non-Fiction Book Group

Join the non-fiction book discussion group at the South Yarmouth Library as we discuss Hidden Figures: the American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race by Margot Lee Shetterly. Before John Glenn orbited the earth or Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of dedicated female mathematicians known as "human computers" used pencils, slide rules and adding machines to calculate the numbers that would launch rockets, and astronauts, into space. Among these problem-solvers were a group of exceptionally talented African American women, some of the brightest minds of their generation.

Copies of the book are available at both libraries. You can also read the ebook or listen to the audiobook through Overdrive or on the Libby app. Please email ckaufmann@clamsnet.org or call the library at 508-760-4820 with any questions. No registration required.
