Tome Raiders
Curious? Always learning? Love hearing human stories? The Tome Raiders Book Club is for you!
Join us as we delve into the broad and weird world of nonfiction through selected memoirs and historical books. Every 3rd Wednesday from 6:30pm to 7:30pm, we will dive into a nonfiction book, from the reclusive mountains of Idaho in Tara Westover's Educated to the stunning life story of Viola Davis in her memoir Finding Me.
Event Details
In February, we learn about the pioneer of plastic surgery, Sir Harold Gillies, in Facemaker by Lindsey Fitzharris. The First World War left no doubt that military technology far surpassed the world’s medical capabilities. Gillies devoted himself to reconstructing the burned and broken faces of soldiers under his care. If the terms “grisly” and “inspiring” intrigue you, this is your book.
This event occurs after the library is closed so please park in the front lot and use the front doors—they will be locked but Cameron will be inside to let you in. There will be light refreshments available.
Copies are available for you at Cooper-Siegel's Front Desk (or try an eBook for your Kindle or iPad)! Unfortunately, there is audiobook version available.
