Great Fall Reads

Read and discuss two books as the weather turns cooler. “The Light of the World” by Elizabeth Alexander is a memoir displaying the importance of love, family, art, and community. The lyrical writing gives the book a rare and captivating beauty. The novel “West with Giraffes” by Lynda Rutledge is based on the true 1938 event of saving two giraffes from a hurricane while crossing the Atlantic Ocean and transporting them overland to Southern California. This class meets every two weeks. "West with Giraffes" is available as a library loan for this class. "The Light of the World" is not included but may be purchased separately by calling 307-268-3401.
