After the End book club reads books that feature post-apocalyptic, dystopian or alternate history themes. We meet the 1st Thursday of the month at the library (with a virtual Google Meet option) and welcome all new members! "This is the way the world endsNot with a bang but a whimper." - T. S. EliotThe world has ended? What's not to love? We know it's not really over. There is still a story to tell. Sometimes it's a story about how the end came; sometimes it's a story of those who survive. If you enjoy these explorations, you will enjoy AFTER THE END, book discussion group dedicated to Post-Apocalyptic fiction and the readers who love it. Questions? Contact Gretchen Elm at [email protected] or 706-613-3650 ext. 324 for more information.

Join us as we discuss North Woods by Daniel Mason. Summary: "When two young lovers abscond from a Puritan colony, little do they know that their humble cabin in the woods will become the home of an extraordinary succession of human and nonhuman characters alike. An English soldier, destined for glory, abandons the battlefields of the New World to devote himself to growing apples. A pair of spinster twins navigate war and famine, envy and desire. A crime reporter unearths an ancient mass grave--only to discover that the earth refuse to give up their secrets. A lovelorn painter, a sinister con man, a stalking panther, a lusty beetle: as the inhabitants confront the wonder and mystery around them, they begin to realize that the dark, raucous, beautiful past is very much alive."-- Publisher's website, viewed on February 9, 2024.
