Library Book Club Selection
The Kilbourn Public Library Book Club has picked The Necklace : Thirteen Women and the Experiment that Transformed Their Lives by Cheryl Jarvis as their February book selection. A few years ago, thirteen California women agreed to pay $15,000 for a diamond necklace and take turns keeping it and wearing it for a month at a time. They explain why they did it - and what they got out of it - in this collective memoir which became a New York Times bestseller. The book club meets the 4th Monday and Wednesday of each month at the library. New members are always welcome. Join us Monday February 22 at 6:30 p,m. or Wednesday, February 24 at 1:30 p.m. to discuss this month’s book. Books are available at the library. Pick up a copy at the desk and join us.
