Event Details

New month, new genre! Join Anya and Megan in person OR via Zoom to indulge in a good book while exploring different genres of literature. Copies of the book will be available at the library to check out one month prior to the discussion. 

In April, we'll be discussing The Measure by Nikki Erlick. 

Eight ordinary people. One extraordinary choice. It seems like any other day. You wake up, pour a cup of coffee, and head out. But today, when you open your front door, waiting for you is a small wooden box. This box holds your fate inside: the answer to the exact number of years you will live.

From suburban doorsteps to desert tents, every person on every continent receives the same box. In an instant, the world is thrust into a collective frenzy. Where did these boxes come from? What do they mean? Is there truth to what they promise? As society comes together and pulls apart, everyone faces the same shocking choice: Do they wish to know how long they’ll live? And, if so, what will they do with that knowledge?
