In cooperation with the Amesbury Council on Aging, join Assistant Library Director Stephanie Smith for a book group geared toward older adults that will meet 2nd Wednesdays from 2:30-3:30 p.m. at the Senior Center.

This month, we will discuss The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store by James McBride.  While digging a foundation for a new development, workers discover an unexpected skeleton.  McBride unfolds the story of the Chicken Hill community, a haven for Jewish immigrants and African Americans, revealing both the secret history behind the skeleton and the importance of love and community in dark times.  We will also have copies of the next month's book in regular print and large print available to borrow using your library card. Copies of the book will also be available for pickup at the Amesbury Public Library.
