Library Book Club
The Kilbourn Public Library Book Club is starting out the year with a book that comes highly recommended by library staff. The Once and Future King is an Arthurian fantasy novel written by T.H. White. According to one review, The Once and Future King is fantasy as it should be, a delightful read for both kids and adults. T.H. White manages to mingle the humorous and the sad portions of the King Arthur story successfully, and he never talks down to his audience or tries to oversimplify the events. The result is a wonderfully entertaining book that never slows down, one that's both amusing and serious. Copies of the book are available at the library for all interested readers, whether you attend the discussion or not. The library book club meets the 4th Monday and Wednesday of every month. This month we will be meeting to discuss the book on Monday, January 25 at 6:30 pm and Wednesday, January 27 at 1:30 p.m. New members are always welcome. For more information about the book club come to the Library Open House on Saturday, January 23 any time between 11 am and 1 pm and talk to members of the club. They will be happy to tell you all about it.
