Book Discussion Group
Meet to discuss a great book the first Wednesday of each month. The July selection is The CIA Book Club: The Secret Mission to Win the Cold War with Forbidden Literature by Charlie English. During the Cold War, George Minden led a covert operation to smuggle banned literature into Eastern Europe, challenging Soviet censorship and control and using underground reading networks to spread forbidden ideas. By providing access to books that were otherwise prohibited, the operation sought to influence hearts and minds, undermining totalitarian authority through culture and literature. English explores the risks taken by those involved, the impact of ideas on societies under oppression, and the role of literature as a subtle but powerful weapon.
Aug. 5 selection: Bog Queen by Anna North.
Pick up a copy at the front desk or drive-thru. New members always welcome. For ages 18+.
