Book Club

"Funny in Farsi" by Firoozeh Dumas is the Book Club's selection for the November 20 meeting. The critics say the "Funny in Farsi" is ' often hilarious, always interesting' and 'warm and engaging'.
It is one of the Public Library's "Books in a Bag" service, so if you are planning to the November Book Club's discussion you may stop in at Bethel's Library to pick up one of the ten copies. If there are no more copies available, contact either Marj at 288 4387 or Judy at 535 2223.
