Classic Book Club: Zorba The Greek Tuesday, August 9, 7:00pm “Classic” books are classic for a reason – their literary excellence transcends passing fads, and they continue to engage readers generation after generation. If there are classics you have always meant to read “someday,” or if you read them in school before you were ready to appreciate them, now is the time to enjoy them with other adult readers. This month we're reading Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis.

Happy Bookers Discussion Group: The Ride of Her Life Wednesday, August 24, 7:00pm In 1954, sixty-three-year-old Maine farmer Annie Wilkins embarked on an impossible journey. She had no money and no family, she had just lost her farm, and her doctor had given her only two years to live. But Annie wanted to see the Pacific Ocean before she died. She ignored her doctor’s advice to move into the county charity home. Instead, she bought a cast-off brown gelding named Tarzan, donned men’s dungarees, and headed south in mid-November, hoping to beat the snow. Annie had little idea what to expect beyond her rural crossroads; she didn’t even have a map. But she did have her ex-racehorse, her faithful mutt, and her own unfailing belief that Americans would treat a stranger with kindness.

Now that we are well into summer, it’s a good time for favorite summer recipes. For my family, that means tomato sandwiches with fresh corn on the cob. To take advantage of truly vine-ripened tomatoes, we probably eat them at least once a week. And while they are delicious, I thought I would include some favorites from other library staff as well. One is a recipe to help you use up fresh zucchini. The other one is a recipe for marinated flank steak for the grill. Hopefully you find some fresh ideas to help you enjoy the lazy days of August, while they last. these recipes!
