Calling all readers! The Bixby Book Club meets the second Tuesday of every month at 6pm. We read a variety of books, spanning the genres of contemporary, literary, and historical fiction, as well as non-fiction, biography, and classics. Didn’t read or finish the book? No worries! This is a no-judgement book club.
This meeting will be held in the library’s Community Room, if available, or the Vermont Room.
Plenty of copies of books are available at the circulation desk for all who would like to read one- for those attending book club as well as those reading on their own. They can also be reserved by emailing Martha at Martha.Sanborn@bixbylibrary.org

In a village at the edge of the wilderness of northern Russia, where the wind blows cold and the snow falls many months of the year, a stranger with piercing blue eyes presents a new father with a gift- a precious jewel on a delicate chain, intended for his young daughter. Uncertain of its meaning, Pytor hides the gift away and Vasya grows up a wild, willful girl, to the chagrin of her family.
