Book Club – Johnston County Library
Engage in a book discussion with the Johnston County Library at 6:30 PM, Thursday, September 4th. Conversation, fellowship, and refreshments will be centered on popular book titles for adults to discuss. Participants will share views on “Lake of the Ozarks” by Bill Geist.
Before “tourism” and “kitsch,” the Lake of the Ozarks was a Shangri-La for middle-class Midwestern families, featuring man-made beaches and quirky attractions. Author Bill Geist spent his summers there in the Sixties, working at his uncle’s resort, Arrowhead Lodge. What began as a summer job transformed his life, as the eccentric locals and unique experiences shaped his sensibilities, humor, and writing. This period influenced his career as he later sought out untamed stories for the Chicago Tribune, the New York Times, and CBS News.

Book Club – Champion Public Library
Join others at the Champion Public Library for a monthly book club at 5:30 PM on Thursday, September 4th. Conversation, fellowship, and refreshments will be centered on popular book titles for adults to discuss. This month’s book selection is “Weyward” by Emilia Hart.
In “Weyward”, Kate flees to Weyward Cottage, inherited from a great aunt she barely remembers, escaping an abusive partner. As she settles in, she suspects her aunt harbored a secret tied to the witch-hunts of the 17th century. In 1619, Altha awaits trial for a murder she didn’t commit. Trained in a natural form of magic by her mother, she knows she must harness her knowledge to fight for her freedom against witchcraft accusations. In 1942, Violet feels trapped in her family’s crumbling estate, yearning for the education denied to her as a girl. She clings to memories of her deceased mother and the word “wayward” etched into her bedroom floor.
Participants are encouraged to check out the book by visiting the Champion Public Library at 601 Railway Express in Ardmore or call (580) 223-3164. The Champion Public Library is a branch of the Southern Oklahoma Library System.
