Willa Cather Book Club
The Willa Cather Book Club has begun meeting again! Beginning with O Pioneers! (2013's One Book One Nebraska selection), the group plans to read a variety of Cather material, including letters, nonfiction, and an historical fiction murder mystery by author Sue Hallgarth, based on Cather's time in Grand Manan. This year, we're also hosting a virtual book club on Facebook, so even if you're not in Red Cloud, you can join in the fun! We're also pleased to provide book club discussion questions and discussion leaders' enrichment materials as part of our educational mission, developed for the celebration of O Pioneers! 100th publication anniversary and with One Book One Nebraska readers in mind.
WHO: Anyone interested in reading great books
WHAT: Willa Cather Book Club
WHEN: Once a month at 4:00 pm -- see the schedule below.
