We meet the 3rd Thursday of the month at 1:00 p.m. in the Vermont Room.

Copies of each book are available at the library circulation desk.

On Thursday, February 20th, 2025, we will be discussing… "An Hour Before Daylight: Memories of a Rural Boyhood" by Jimmy Carter.

Carter writes about the powerful rhythms of countryside and community in a sharecropping economy, offering an unforgettable portrait of his father, a brilliant farmer and a strict segregationist who treated black workers with respect and fairness; his strong-willed and well-read mother; and the five other people who shaped his early life, three of whom were black.

Carter's clean and eloquent prose evokes a time when the cycles of life were predictable and simple and the rules were heartbreaking and complex. In his singular voice and with a novelist's gift for detail, Jimmy Carter creates a sensitive portrait of an era that shaped the nation and recounts a classic, American story of enduring importance.

All are welcome to join us for this free event.
