Audition
by Barbara Walters
|
 |
|
One of the most respected women in television news and journalism, Barbara Walters has lived an impressive life, interviewing presidents, heads-of-state, convicted killers and television and movie celebrities. Now she turns her gift for examination on herself as she talks about her early family life, her retarded sister Jackie, her career, her marriages, her lovers, and of course, about the people she's interviewed or worked with through her more than 49-year career.
Join us as we discuss this work and other favorite books at the August 19 meeting of Classic Readers.

The White Tiger
by Aravind Adiga
|
 |
|
Adiga's depiction of the social and economic inequalities of contemporary India is intriquing, satirical, and thought-provoking. He introduces readers to a side of modern India that few Westerners recognize and to a moral ambiguity that generates difficult questions on justice and ethics.
Join us as we discuss this novel and other favorite books at the June 23 meeting of Reader’s Choice. |

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. |
