Davidson Branch Library: The In-Person Book Club – Daytime Edition

Dec. 3 @ 2:00 – 3:00 p.m.

Davidson Branch Library – 119 S. Main Street

Join us on the 1st Tuesday of each month at 2:00 pm for The In-Person Davidson Branch Book Club! This month we will meet offsite at the Town of Davidson’s Town Hall – 251 South Street in Davidson – Room 120. We will be reading Wishtree by Katherine Applegate.  A note from Nancy, the Librarian: When the days seem difficult and adult books challenging, I often turn to the children’s section – hence this choice, a heartfelt tale, for our December meeting. “The simplicity of Newbery Medalist Applegate’s graceful novel contrasts powerfully with the prejudice it confronts. Narration comes from Red, an enormous red oak near an elementary school that also serves as a “wishtree” for the neighborhood-once a year, residents deposit wishes in Red’s branches and hollows. Red discusses the history of the community as a welcoming place for people from many different backgrounds, and connects that past in a satisfying way to the present.”
