Book Club

Who: All are invited.
Where: Bruce Area Library
When: Last Monday of the month at 10:30

The Book Club usually meets the last Monday of the month at 10:30 a.m. in Bruce Area Library. Exceptions include holidays and when there is inclement weather. When the last Monday falls on a holiday the Book Club will usually meet the Monday preceding the holiday. In the event of inclement weather, the Book Club will usually meet the following Monday. New members are welcome.

On Monday, May 19 the Book Club will meet at 10:30 a.m. to discuss A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman. Copies of the book are available at the library (regular print, large print, audiobook) while supplies last.

Meet Ove. He’s a curmudgeon; the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him ‘the bitter neighbor from hell’. But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn’t walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time? Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents’ association to their very foundations.
