Book Group To
Discuss “The Guernsey Literary and Potato
Peel Pie Society”
Evergreen Community Library’s book
discussion group will meet at 7:00 p.m.
Wednesday, September 22, to discuss “The
Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie
Society” by Mary Ann Shaffer.
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie
Society begins in January 1946, when popular
author Juliet Ashton, much like her fellow
British citizens, is emerging from the dark
days of World War II. As Juliet exchanges a
series of letters with her publisher and her
best friend, readers immediately warm to
this author in search of a new subject in
the aftermath of war. By the time Juliet
receives an unexpected query from Dawsey
Adams, we are caught in a delightful web of
letters and vivid personalities and eager
for Juliet to find the inspiration she
seeks.
“The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie
Society” will be the first book to start off
our fall book discussion. Books in regular
and large print will be available after
August 23, 2010 at the circulation desk.
Plan to join Jane Dominique as the new book
discussion facilitator.

Citizenship Day is September 17th! In
honor of this special national holiday,

an inspiring program promoting heroic
citizenry. We will be learning about
heroic citizens like Roger Durbin from
Berkey, Ohio who originated the idea of
the World War II Memorial in Washington
D.C. and Hannah Turner, a four year old
from Perrysburg, Ohio who began the
organization, "Hannah's Socks", a
charity for the homeless. Come celebrate
your unique talents and learn how to use
them to perform heroic deeds that can
make a difference for your community,
state, and country. We encourage you to
bring a pair of new socks to help
support "Hannah's Socks"! Come be
inspired to find the hero that lies in
you!
