On Monday, our book discussion group met to discuss the LI READS 2007 book, The Color of Water: a black man's tribute to his white mother by James McBride. As you can imagine, any book that deals with race, religion, prejudice, poverty and parental abuse is sure to generate a lively, spirited discussion and that it did!

We welcomed a few new members to our group and it's nice to see patrons from the surrounding libraries (like Oceanside and Hewlett) join us. I hope everyone will participate next time for our Monday Mysteries Book Group on June 4th at noon. We will be reading and discussing The Body in the Library by Agatha Christie. Stop by the circulation desk to pick up your copy and join us to share your thoughts and opinions. Light refreshments will also be served!!
