The Monday Night Book Club reads Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver at Canton Public Library. “Unsheltered is the compulsively readable story of two families, in two centuries, who live at the corner of Sixth and Plum in Vineland, New Jersey, navigating what seems to be the end of the world as they know it. With history as their tantalizing canvas, these characters paint a startlingly relevant portrait of life in precarious times when the foundations of the past have failed to prepare us for the future (HarperCollins).”Newcomers welcome! Registration requested, free. Copies of the books are available at the library.

“Project LIT Community,” reads Monster, by Walter Dean Myers, which won the Michael J. Printz Award (ALA) for young adult literature. The plot: “While on trial as an accomplice to a murder, sixteen-year-old Steve Harmon records his experiences in prison and in the courtroom in the form of a film script as he tries to come to terms with the course his life has taken (LCI).” We’ll meet at Canton High School’s Media Center for our official chapter’s Project LIT book discussion.  Started as a Nashville educator’s community project to increase access to good books in areas with very limited reading opportunities, Project LIT grew into a school/library partnership to create enthusiastic readers through offering the right kind of books: high-interest, culturally relevant books that encourage a diverse viewpoint. Grades 7-12 (if you can make the meeting, you don’t have to be a Canton student); free. Registration is required, either by phone or on the library website under Upcoming Programs. Information: https://sites.google.com/cantonschools.org/cantonprojectlit/home.
