Take a walk with us along the paths behind the library (weather permitting—otherwise we’ll use the track inside the Millcreek Recreation Center); then join in our book discussion.
Come join our monthly meeting of the Millcreek Walking Book Club, a collaboration between The Millcreek Branch of the County Library and The Millcreek Recreation Center. We will meet in the Storytime room of the library then take a walk along the paths behind the library (weather permitting—otherwise we’ll use the track inside the Millcreek Recreation Center.) We will then meet back in the Storytime room to discuss the book.
From the author of the novel Swamplandia! — a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize — comes a magical and uniquely daring collection of stories that showcases the author’s gifts at their inimitable best.
Within these pages, a community of girls held captive in a Japanese silk factory slowly transmute into human silkworms and plot revolution; a group of boys stumble upon a mutilated scarecrow that bears an uncanny resemblance to a missing classmate that they used to torment; a family’s disastrous quest for land in the American West has grave consequences; and in the marvelous title story, two vampires in a sun-drenched lemon grove try to slake their thirst for blood and come to terms with their immortal relationship.
Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring a water bottle.
