Afternoon Adult Book Club Thursday, Nov. 17th at 3:00PM Donna Bagley Community Room Join us this month for a discussion on Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi. In Before the Coffee Gets Cold, we meet four visitors, each of whom is hoping to make use of the café’s time-traveling offer, in order to: confront the man who left them, receive a letter from their husband whose memory has been taken by early onset Alzheimer's, see their sister one last time, and meet the daughter they never got the chance to know.
But the journey into the past does not come without risks: customers must sit in a particular seat, they cannot leave the café, and finally, they must return to the present before the coffee gets cold. No registration is required. Ages 18+ Please contact Helen at 714-826-4100 ext. 172 or email hkoo@buenaparklibrary.org if you have any questions.
