The Book Thief


In our November WWII Veterans Discussion Group Meeting, member Barbara Esposito, read from The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.

Barbara did a wonderful job in reading some very suspensful excerpts of this story of a family in WWII Germany who hide a Jewish boy in their house.

The Book Thief was a selection of the Library's Contemporary Book Discussion Group led by Librarian, Cynthia Gwiazda.

Also in our Novemember meeting, veterans wrote on "Leaves of Thanks" things which they were thankful for such as family, friends, memories and other expressions of thankfulness. Below Mrs. Rossick places a leaf on the "Thanksgiving Tree."
