Discussing The Book Thief
by Marcus Zusak

 |
|
Liesel Meminger, a young girl living outside of Munich during World War II, encounters something she can’t resist: books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement. This is an unforgettable story about the ability of books to feed the soul.

Now you can organize a book club instantly! Just check out a “Book Club in a Box” at the Frisco Public Library, and gather a few friends. Each box includes multiple copies of a title (typically 4 or 5 copies). We provide information about the book and its author, and include discussion questions-- everything except the readers. To accommodate your group’s needs, you can check out the box for six weeks—time enough to distribute the copies, read the book, and meet for discussion. You can select from a variety of titles, including mystery, inspirational, science fiction, and general fiction. The Adult Services staff will continue to add new “boxes” so your book club can explore different reading opportunities. The boxes are available for check-out at the fourth floor Ask Us desk. Give one a try!

Dear Reader Online Book Club |
|
Dear Reader Online Book Club offers several categories to choose from, including good news, business, romance, science fiction, and more! Each day, Monday through Friday, the library emails subscribers a portion of a book that takes about five minutes to read. This amounts to two or three chapters from a book during the week. Each week the library features new books. |
