Are you a fan of time travel? Do bad aliens, bad robots, or bad dragons make you do a double take? Maybe you love to hate an evil wizard, witch or sorcerer? Or you just want to root for the Chosen One? If so, the Sci fi and Fantasy Readers Book Club might be for you! Join us on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 5:30 pm starting May 28, 2025. All readers ages 16+ are invited to join the discussion. Light refreshments provided by the Friends of the Library.

The Afternoon Book Club, on Thursday May 29th at 1:00pm is featuring the book The Storm We Made by Vanessa Chan Copies are available to place on hold online https://eldoradolibrary.org/ or call the library and we can reserve a copy for you, (530) 333-4724.
“Malaya, 1945. Cecily Alcantara’s family is in terrible danger: her fifteen-year-old son, Abel, has disappeared, and her youngest daughter, Jasmin, is confined in a basement to prevent being pressed into service at the comfort stations. Her eldest daughter Jujube, who works at a tea house frequented by drunk Japanese soldiers, becomes angrier by the day.
Cecily knows two things: that this is all her fault; and that her family must never learn the truth.
A decade prior, Cecily had been desperate to be more than a housewife to a low-level bureaucrat in British-colonized Malaya. A chance meeting with the charismatic General Fujiwara lured her into a life of espionage, pursuing dreams of an “Asia for Asians.” Ten years later as the war reaches its apex, her actions have caught up with her. Now her family is on the brink of destruction—and she will do anything to save them.
Told from the perspectives of four unforgettable characters, The Storm We Made spans years of pain, triumph, and perseverance. “The tenderness in its details, the ordinary ways that these characters love and laugh in the face of the extraordinary…Chan shows us, with clarity and care, how the truest mirror comes from the intimacy of human connection”
