Have you been hankering for an in-person book club? Join us on the first Saturday of the month from 10:30AM-12PM in our cozy Fireside Room for a friendly book discussion group.

Our book to discuss at the June meeting is The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi, who will be joining us via Zoom! Here is a brief description:

"Escaping from an abusive marriage, seventeen-year-old Lakshmi makes her way alone to the vibrant 1950s pink city of Jaipur. There she becomes the most highly requested henna artist--and confidante--to the wealthy women of the upper class. But trusted with the secrets of the wealthy, she can never reveal her own...

Known for her original designs and sage advice, Lakshmi must tread carefully to avoid the jealous gossips who could ruin her reputation and her livelihood. As she pursues her dream of an independent life, she is startled one day when she is confronted by her husband, who has tracked her down these many years later with a high-spirited young girl in tow--a sister Lakshmi never knew she had. Suddenly the caution that she has carefully cultivated as protection is threatened. Still she perseveres, applying her talents and lifting up those that surround her as she does."

If you still need a copy, follow this link to request it from another library system through LINK+, as all SCPL copies are currently checked out. Items requested through this service will typically arrive within a week.

Light refreshments will be provided.

If you'd like to read ahead, July's book will be The Lion Women of Tehran by Marjan Kamali. I will have copies of this book available to borrow at our June meeting.
