The Friday Book Group will meet at 2:00 p.m. Fri. Nov. 16th on the 2nd floor of the library to discuss Lisa See’s “The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane.” In a remote Yunnan village, Li-yan, one of the few educated girls on her mountain, has a baby outside of wedlock and abandons her in the nearest city. After mother and daughter have gone their separate ways, Li-yan slowly emerges from the security and insularity of her village to encounter modern life, while Haley grows up a privileged and well-loved California girl. Despite Haley’s happy home life, she wonders about her origins, and Li-yan longs for her lost daughter. They both search for and find answers in the tea that has shaped their family’s destiny for generations.

The History Book Group will discuss Philip Freeman’s “Alexander the Great” at 6:30 p.m. Thurs. Nov. 29th on the 2nd floor of the library. In his biography of Alexander, classical scholar Philip Freeman describes Alexander’s astonishing achievements and provides insight into the mercurial character of the great conqueror. He was intensely competitive and could not tolerate losing—which he rarely did. Without Alexander, the influence of Greece on the ancient world would not have been as great as it was, even if his motivation was to unify an empire.
