by Ann Miller

Scituate Library found success with discussions of "Where'd you go, Bernadette" by Maria Semple, "The Interestings" by Meg Wolitzer, "Chasing Vermeer" by Blue Balliet, and "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. Attendees created small crafts or studied different aspects of artists or art that each book talked about, according to Rachael Juskuv.

We can't wait to see what you do next! (I know I am feeling even more excited about reading "The Brides of Rollrock Island" in March with Mead's club! Oh, the possibilities...)
