Friends of the Library Morning Book Club

A Reminder:
The Friends of the Kasson Library will discuss this month's featured book The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls
Tuesday, May 4 at 10:00 am in the Library.
There is still room for other to join this group.

Glass Castle Summary:It is a story about he author's father was a charismatic but alcoholic man who greatly preferred poker to gainful employment and wasn't above stealing the family grocery money to purchase liquor. His wife could barely be bothered to raise her children. So Walls and her siblings had to fend for themselves, providing their own food, shelter and clothing - even if it meant picking through dumpsters. Remarkable for its lack of sentimentality and anger, the story is a striking testament to the power of human determination.
