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.
Participants are encouraged to check out the book by visiting the Parker Memorial Library at 500 West Broadway in Sulphur. You can also call the library at (580) 634-2315 for more information. The Parker Memorial Library is a branch of the Southern Oklahoma Library System.
