Tuesday, March 24 7:15 - 8:15 pm In celebration of Women's History Month, we will discuss The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. "The story is iconic: In the Republic of Gilead, a Handmaid named Offred lives in the home of the Commander, to the purpose that she become pregnant with his child. Stripped of her most basic freedoms, (work, property, her own name), Offred remembers a different time, not so long ago, when she was valuable for more than her viable ovaries, when she was mother to a daughter she could keep, and when she and her husband lived and loved as equals. Darkly prescient, scathingly sarcastic, and eminently frightening." New members are always welcome. Light refreshments and snacks provided. The Excelsior Book Club meets on the 4th Tuesday of the month. New members are always welcome. |

Free book! Just swap us a review. Here's how it works: the teen librarian will bring out several books (new titles, old titles, and titles that have not been published yet) and allow teens the chance to browse through them for one that they'd like to keep. Teens will, in turn, swap us a review of the book by the next swap. For ages 12-18. This is a Reading, Writing & Poetry program from SFPL. We love reading/sharing/creating words. |
