Book discussions planned at libraries

Adults and teens are invited to read books and attend one or all of the free Jackson County Public Library book discussion groups in June.

The books are available to check out at the checkout desks at each library.

On the second Friday of each month, the Book’s Night Out group meets in a restaurant to discuss its monthly book.

Led by information services assistant Stephanie Sluder at Mike’s Pizza, 536 B Ave. East, Seymour, that group will discuss “The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf,” by Mohja Kahf, a title in the Indiana Humanities’ Next Indiana Bookshelf, at 7 p.m. June 10. Everyone attending should bring money if they plan to eat.

The June book discussion group at the Crothersville Library, which meets the third Wednesday of each month, will cover the book “The Yellow Bird,” by Kevin Powers, at 6 p.m. June 15.

Fantastic Fictioneers plans to gather and comment on the book “The Truth According to Us,” by Annie Barrows, at 11 a.m. June 17 at the Seymour Library, 303 W. Second St. Led by volunteers Ann Schwein and Sharon Kamman, this group meets the third Friday of each month.

The Medora Library discussion group will meet at 6 p.m. June 27 to talk about Wanda Brunstetter’s “The Healing Quilt.” This group meets the last Monday of each month.
