New Year’s Resolutions

Lose weight, exercise, save money, get out more. We can’t help you with the first two, but we’ve got the last two covered. For an evening or afternoon of free and friendly entertainment, join one of the Rust library book discussions. From January to May, we’ve scheduled fiction and non-fiction titles that will make coming out in the cold worthwhile. Pick a Monday evening discussion at 7:00PM or a Tuesday afternoon at 1:30PM, the fourth Monday or Tuesday of the month and enjoy thoughtful conversation about a work of fiction.

January 25 and 26—Jim Fergus’ compelling book, One Thousand White Women
February 22 and 23—Edith Wharton’s American classic, Ethan Frome
March 22 and 23—Alan Brennert’s narrative about Hawaii, Moloka’i
April 26 and 27—Masha Hamilton’s story about the effects of doing good, The Camel Bookmobile
May 24 and 25—Sebastian Barry’s novel about the troubles in Ireland, The Secret Scripture

For fans of non-fiction, enjoy the new quarterly non-fiction book discussion, beginning with Epitaph for a Peach: four seasons on my family farm by David Mas Masumoto on Monday February 1 at 7:00PM and Geography of Bliss: one grump’s search for the happiest places in the world by Eric Weiner on Monday, May 3 at 7:00PM.
