Happy Hour Book Group: “Solito”
Decorah Public Library staff are hosting five 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 meet via Zoom Wed. Sept. 13 at 5:15 p.m. to discuss Javier Zamora’s autobiography “Solito.” At nine years old, Javier Zamora journeyed three thousand miles from his small town in El Salvador, through Guatemala and Mexico, and across the U.S. border. He left behind his beloved aunt and grandparents to reunite with a mother who left four years before and a father he barely remembered. Traveling alone except for a group of strangers and a coyote hired to lead them to safety, Javier’s trip was supposed to last two short weeks.
For more information, contact Tricia Crary (Friday Book Group) or Kristin Torresdal (Happy Hour, History, and Speculative Fiction Book Groups) at 563-382-3717.
