Lunchtime Book Group

Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher

Now is a great time to get an early start on our March book group selection: Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher, by northwest author Timothy Egan.

Our Lunchtime Book Group series is an informal, brown-bag lunch and book discussion. This month we’ll meet at the Downtown Library Wednesday, March 9, 12 – 1pm.

We’ll meet first in the Downtown Library’s Northwest Room at 11:00 am to look at the Curtis prints (a rare, complete set of prints held by the Library). We’ll then move to the 3rd Floor Board Room for our discussion.

And if you hurry… we have it on good authority that the waiting list isn’t long to download the eBook!
