CANCELED: Award Winning Book Club In-Person

NOTICE: Due to current guidance from public health officials, the Library is canceling all programs, events, meeting room bookings, and outreach activities during the month of March. At this time, all branch locations continue to operate with normal hours. Find out more about our response to COVID-19 and how to access library services online at wcls.org.

 

Join us for a friendly and lively book discussion, even if you didn't finish the book! On March 14, we will be discussing To the Bright Edge of the World by Eowyn Ivey. Refreshments provided by the Friends of the Lynden Library. Meets monthly on the second Saturday.

 

This is a Whatcom READS event. 

The annual literary happening invites Whatcom County neighbors to read or listen to the same book and then come together to discuss and celebrate its themes and the joy of reading at lively, free public gatherings at WCLS libraries and partner locations across the county.

This year's book, "To the Bright Edge of the World," by Eowyn Ivey is set in the first decades after the United States purchased the Alaska Territory. This atmospheric, transporting tale of adventure, love, and survival features rich descriptions of the Alaskan wild and a fascinating glimpse at the burgeoning fields of naturalism and photography in the late 19th century.

For more information about Whatcom READS, please visit www.whatcomreads.org. Author events with Eowyn Ivey will take place from Thursday, March 5 through Saturday, March 7 throughout Whatcom County.

Whatcom READS is presented by all the public and academic libraries in Whatcom County and Village Books. We are grateful for our funding sponsors, Friends of the Bellingham Public Library and Whatcom County Library Foundation, and for the support of numerous community partners.
