Event Details
Tome Raiders
Tired of the same old bestsellers? Craving books that surprise, challenge, and expand your mind? The Tome Raiders Book Club is your passport to the strange, fascinating, and overlooked corners of nonfiction. From the origin of medical discoveries to untold histories and mind-bending science, we hunt down and engage with the most intriguing reads.
Join us as we delve into the broad and weird world of nonfiction every 3rd Wednesday from 6:30pm to 7:30pm, we dive into a nonfiction book, from the reclusive mountains of Idaho in Tara Westover's Educated to the sprawling historical true crime journey of The Wager by David Grann.
In From Here to Eternity, join mortician Caitlin Doughty as she travels the globe to witness how other cultures honor their dead—from Bolivian skulls that grant wishes to Japanese relatives using chopsticks to collect cremated bones. Her journey reveals that confronting death honestly through meaningful ritual might actually help us live better, offering profound alternatives to America's sterile, corporate approach to mortality.
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 will be available for you at Cooper-Siegel's Front Desk after March's meeting! The audiobook is available on Libby and hoopla, and the ebook is available on Libby.
