Our last summer book of 2009 is planned for discussion on Monday, August 24 at 7 pm. Reading young adult fiction is a nice change during the Summer Reading Program here at the library and this summer we read, The Beekeeper's Apprentice by Laurie R. King in June, The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brain Selznick in July; and now we will look at Sherman Alexie's first young adult novel, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian. This is truly a boy's book, about a young native American who decides to transfer to a school off the reservation. I hope that the adults give this book a chance, we have copies of the book available at the front desk and it's not too late pick up a copy and join us on August 24th.
