Books with Friends is RCL's adult book club that meets on the third Thursday of the month. It is hosted by our Friends of the Library group. This book club is a hybrid gathering of in-person and virtual attendees. **If you would like to attend virtually (via Zoom) please contact the library BEFORE the day of the event.**

About this month's selection:
"A Southern story of friendship forged by books and bees, when the timeless troubles of growing up meet the murky shadows of World War II. Deep in the tobacco land of North Carolina, nothing's the same since the boys shipped off to war and worry took their place. Thirteen-year-old Lucy Brown is curious and clever, but she can't make sense of it all. Then Allie Bert Tucker comes to town, an outcast with a complicated past, and Lucy believes that together they can solve crimes. Just like her hero, Nancy Drew. That chance comes when a man goes missing, a woman stops speaking, and an eccentric gives the girls a mystery that takes them beyond the ordinary. Their quiet town, seasoned with honeybees and sweet tea, becomes home to a Nazi prisoner-of-war camp-and more men go missing. The pair set out to answer the big question: do we ever really know who the enemy is? Lush with Southern atmosphere, All The Little Hopes, is the story of two girls growing up while war creeps closer, blurring the difference between what's right, what's wrong, and what we know to be true."
