Join Parker Memorial Library for Booked on a Thursday Book Club at 5:30 PM on Thursday, September 24th. Light refreshments will be provided and spirited discussion encouraged. This month’s book will be William Kent Krueger’s “This Tender Land”.
In 1932 Minnesota, the Lincoln School is a harsh institution where Native American children, separated from their families, are educated. Among them is Odie O’Banion, a spirited boy who, along with his brother Albert, best friend Mose, and a heartbroken girl named Emmy, escapes in a canoe seeking freedom along the Mississippi River. Their unforgettable summer leads them to encounter various lost souls, from struggling farmers to traveling faith healers.

Teen Anime & Manga Book Club
See what magic unfolds at Champion Public Library’s Teen Anime & Manga Book Club at 5:30 PM on Thursday, September 24th. This month, we will dive into the magical world of “Kunon the Sorcerer Can See Vol. 1” by Umikaze Minamino. After our discussion, teens aged 13 – 17 will have a chance to play a round of Anime Character Bingo along with snacks provided by the library. Signing up is encouraged.
Kunon Gurion, born blind and descended from a legendary hero, sees his bloodline as a curse rather than a blessing. When he learns that magic could grant sight, seven-year-old Kunon devotes himself to creating a spell for the blind. His determination draws the attention of the royal palace, but will it be enough to impress the renowned Royal Sorcerer, Zeonly Finroll, and become his apprentice?

Lottie Jones thought she had left her past crimes behind. Years ago, she changed her name and hid herself in a small town. Her most exciting nights are playing bingo at the church and chatting with her friends. When reporter Plum Dixon comes to her door asking about Lottie’s past and her possible connection to several unsolved crimes, Lottie knows she can’t let that happen. Getting away with murder is hard enough when you’re young. Now, as Lottie hears another knock at the door, she realizes this new danger could finally reveal her secrets and put her life at risk.
