Book Discussion Series Concludes
4/14/2014 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
Councilor-at-Large Debbie DeMaria is "Celebrity Guest"
A lively book discussion—including special guest Councilor-at-Large Debbie DeMaria—will be held at the Malden Public Library on Monday, April 14 at 5:30 p.m. The discussion will be led by a library staff member.
We invite anyone who would like to participate in the discussion to attend, including those who may have never attended a book discussion before. This will be the last in the series of Book Discussions offered for this year's Malden Reads program.
The discussion at the Library will explore ideas and themes from the 2014 featured selection “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” by Rebecca Skloot.
Justin Gottlieb, a member of the Malden Reads community, commented, “There is such tension in this book. The ethics around Henrietta’s story are troubling, but there has been so much gained. She’s a hero and a victim. She lives on, even though she died. The reader has to examine their own heart to know whether celebration or sorrow is most appropriate.”
All are welcome to share their thoughts and comments and to hear what others around the community have to say.
The discussion is free but space is limited, so attendees must sign up in advance. To sign up, call the Malden Public Library at 781-324-0218 or email bookgroups@maldenreads.org. Be sure to specify that you are signing up for the Monday, April 14 discussion.
