SPECIAL MAY EVENT
BOOK DISCUSSION – The Hunger Games
One Book/One Community Read
Tuesday, May 22nd 6:30pm
Reader’s Loft, 2069 Central Court, Green Bay
We thought we’d get a head start on this year’s community read by hosting a discussion now while the movie is also showing. This is an extremely popular book among young readers and we’re hoping that we will have some of them with us for this discussion. Feel free to invite friends, colleagues, and family members – children and grandchildren – to join us. The book is available at Reader’s Loft – 15% discount for AAUW bk. group; also at library but likely a waiting list. If you know a teen she/he may have a copy you can borrow; also available as e-book or you can get the whole trilogy. We do need a count for set-up and refreshments, so please call Janice McCarthy by May 19th with number coming. ** See Community News to also help local GS project **
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, the latest One Book, One Community selection, impels us to confront our values and address present-day issues. In the 12 districts surrounding the nation of Panem, a boy and girl between the ages of 12 and 18 must be selected each year to participate in the Hunger Games. Because the Games are a fight to the death, participants must “weigh survival against humanity and life against love”.
