Take advantage of our community outreach services and be part of our monthly book club at the Rowan County Senior Citizens Center. There's a new book every month, requestable in advance through our bookmobile! Intended for ages 55+.
Our first title of 2024 is A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, the 1943 coming-of-age story often described as one of the greatest American novels. It follows Francie Nolan, a New York girl from a family some would call broken, but which nevertheless sticks together through all the thick and thin that life can throw at them. This book is hailed as a perfect snapshot of its time, going from touching to overwhelming to uplifting and back again. Even decades later, critics agree Betty Smith's work is not to be missed!
The library makes every effort to ensure our programs can be enjoyed by all. If you have any concerns about accessibility or need to request specific accommodations, please contact us ahead of the program or event date.
