All patrons and friends of the Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library are welcome to join Page Turners, the Library’s book discussion group. This month we will be discussing Dorothy West’s The Wedding (1995), a novel set on Martha’s Vineyard and focusing on race, family, and social class in the island’s African-American community during the 1950s. For August, we look back at a famous train crash by way of Emma Donohue’s page-turner novel, The Paris Express (2025). Our July meeting will be hybrid if circumstances permit; in August we will definitely meet both in the Library’s Community Room and on Zoom.
Page Turners welcomes new members maintains a discussion list through which members receive background information and discussion questions for each book selection. Please contact Sue Lanser (925-6244 or lanser@brandeis.edu) if you would like to learn more about the group or wish to join our mailing list. With occasional exceptions, we meet on the second Monday of each month.
