Happy Hour Book Group: “”
Decorah Public Library staff are hosting six book discussions in September. The groups are open to the public and newcomers are encouraged to attend. Anyone interested should call the library at 382-3717 to learn more or to reserve a book. Zoom links are available on the Library’s website or you can email ktorresdal@decorahlibrary.org to be added to any of the groups’ email distribution lists. Funds for multiple copy sets were generously provided by Friends of Decorah Public Library.
The Happy Hour Book Group will hold a hybrid meeting Wed. Sept. 7 at 5:15 p.m. to discuss Richard Powers’ “Bewilderment.” In-person attendees will meet in the lower-level public meeting room at the library and digital attendees will join via Zoom. The astrobiologist Theo Byrne searches for life throughout the cosmos while raising his nine-year-old, Robin, following the death of his wife. Robin is a warm, kind boy who spends hours painting elaborate pictures of endangered animals. He’s also about to be expelled from third grade for smashing his friend in the face. As his son grows more troubled, Theo hopes to keep him off psychoactive drugs, and he learns of an experimental neurofeedback treatment to bolster Robin’s emotional control.
For more information, contact Tricia Crary (Friday Book Group), Zach Row-Heyveld (Cookbook and Quick Bites Groups) or Kristin Torresdal (Happy Hour, History, and Speculative Fiction Book Groups) at 563-382-3717.
