Due to the July 4th holiday, the next meeting of the Newbury Book Discussion Group will be Thursday, July 11 at 7 PM in the Tenney Memorial Library. This month we are reading Sinclair Lewis' classic novel, "It Can't Happen Here." As summarized in Wikipedia: "The novel describes the rise of Berzelius "Buzz" Windrip, a demagogue who is elected President of the United States, after fomenting fear and promising drastic economic and social reforms while promoting a return to patriotism and "traditional" values. After his election, Windrip takes complete control of the government and imposes a totalitarian rule ..." Hmmmm .... sounds like a great discussion starter! Everyone is welcome to join us. Copies of the book are available from your local library through interlibrary loan.
