Book Groups

The John P. Webster Library coordinates and sponsors three book groups that meet regularly in the library. Book groups resume in a couple of weeks! All books are in – pick up yours at the Book Mobile or at the JPW Library!

Copies of the books are provided for participants. New members are always welcome to either group! For more information, please contact Jennifer or Molly at 860-232-3893 or at jpwlibrary@whfirstchurch.org.

WEEKLY

Awakening the Spirit Meets Mondays from 12 to 1:30 p.m. We will resume Monday, September 8, to begin discussing Richard Rohr’s The Tears of Things: Prophetic Wisdom for an Age of Outrage. “…Tears come from both awe and empathy, and they generate even deeper awe and deeper empathy in us. The sympathy that wells up when we weep can be life-changing, too, drawing us out of ourselves and into communion with those around us.”

MONTHLY

Food for Thought resumes Tuesday, October 6 at 5 p.m. We’re reading How Lucky by Will Leitch, “the unforgettable story of Daniel, a fiercely resilient young man living with a physical disability, as he works to solve a kidnapping incident he has witnessed. Unforgettable. Brilliant.” (online reader reviews).

6th-8th Graders — This One’s for You!

Group resumes Sunday, October 19 at 10 a.m. in the Community Room. We’re starting the year with The Puzzling Fate of Millicent Graves by Dora M. Mitchell. “If life were a bookshelf, Millicent Graves would have it organized to perfection. Instead, her life is filled with chaos. When mysterious jigsaw puzzles offer Millie a chance to change her destiny, she rearranges the pieces she doesn’t like, replacing some parts with ones that better suit her vision of an organized life” (Amazon). That’s a great idea, right?
