August 2021 Book Club

August 18, 2021 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

The Whiting Library Book Club monthly discussion for August is being held in person at the library AND live on Zoom. The discussion will take place at 3pm on Wednesday, August 18th, 2021.  The book pick for August is The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes. From Wikipedia:

The Giver of Stars is a 2019 historical fiction novel by Jojo Moyes about packhorse librarians in a remote area of Kentucky. Set in Depression-era America, The Giver of Stars is the story of five extraordinary women and their journey through the mountains of Kentucky and beyond. The women deliver library books to people in the mountains of Kentucky during the Great Depression, a real-life program launched by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and First Lady Eleanor. Universal Pictures has acquired the movie rights to The Giver of Stars, and the feature film is in the early stages of production.

The Giver of Stars received USA Today’s top 100 books to read while stuck at home social distancing and was a Hello Sunshine Book Club Pick by Reese Witherspoon. The Giver of Stars spent 33 weeks on the New York Times best-selling list.
