Book Club

Attendees at Orrville Public Library’s November Book Club will discuss “Lady Clementine” by Marie Benedict. They say behind every successful man is a strong woman. Clementine Churchill proved to be just that. She stood beside her husband, Winston, through the darkness of war. She was not only a political powerhouse, she was also a wife and mother who struggled with bouts of sadness and hopelessness just like the rest of us.

Pick up a copy of the book at the Circulation Desk and plan to come to the Book Club on Thursday, Nov. 10, to share your thoughts on the book. Come to either the 10:30 a.m. or the 6:30 p.m. gathering. Registration is preferred and can be completed by clicking on the event on our website calendar, www.orrville.lib.oh.us, or by contacting the Information Desk at 330-683-1065.
