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. New members are always welcome! Please use the form below to register so we know how many copies of the next month's book to bring.

This month we will discuss Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt.  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. 

About the book: For fans of A Man Called Ove, a luminous debut novel about a widow's unlikely friendship with a curmudgeonly giant Pacific octopus reluctantly residing at the local aquarium--and, when a mysterious grifter comes to town, the truths all three unlock about her son's disappearance 30 years ago. Charming, compulsively readable, and full of wit, this is a beautiful exploration of friendship, reckoning, and hope--a reminder that sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible.
