Tuesday, Jan. 21, 1:00pm to 3:00pm
The third Tuesday of every month gather in the Quiet Room and discuss the various books we all bring (that's right, there are no assigned titles, just bring a book you want to share with others). We do tend to read more non-fiction than fiction, but it's not a requirement.
Saturday, Jan. 25, 11:00 am
Do you ever wonder why you are drawn to a particular author or series? Did you know there is a sub-genre to crime fiction? It’s called “Cozy Murder Mysteries”. Join us on Saturday, January 25th at 11:00 am for the first of many Cozy Murder Mystery Book Clubs. There will be an introduction and overview of cozy mysteries and a conversation on future books for discussion. The club will meeting the last Saturday of each month at 11:00 am at the Georgetown Library.

Thursday, Jan. 30, 1:00 pm
The Afternoon Book Club, on Thursday January 30th at 1:00pm is featuring the book The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride. Copies are available to place on hold online or call the library and we can reserve a copy for you, (530) 333-4724.
“In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows. Chicken Hill was where Moshe and Chona Ludlow lived when Moshe integrated his theater and where Chona ran the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store. When the state came looking for a deaf boy to institutionalize him, it was Chona and Nate Timblin, the Black janitor at Moshe’s theater and the unofficial leader of the Black community on Chicken Hill, who worked together to keep the boy safe.
As these characters’ stories overlap and deepen, it becomes clear how much the people who live on the margins of white, Christian America struggle and what they must do to survive. When the truth is finally revealed about what happened on Chicken Hill and the part the town’s white establishment played in it, McBride shows us that even in dark times, it is love and community—heaven and earth—that sustain us.” Sponsored by Georgetown Friends of the Library .
