The Library will be closing today, Friday, 11/22, at 4 PM to set up for the annual Taste of Portsmouth.

Third Tuesday Book Club

Join us for a discussion of The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro.  This is Kazuo Ishiguro's profoundly compelling portrait of a butler named Stevens. Stevens, at the end of three decades of service at Darlington Hall, spending a day on a country drive, embarks as well on a journey through the past in an effort to reassure himself that he has served humanity by serving the "great gentleman," Lord Darlington. But lurking in his memory are doubts about the true nature of Lord Darlington's "greatness," and much graver doubts about the nature of his own life.

Copies will be available for checkout at the adult circulation desk.  No sign up is required to attend in person.  If you would like to attend the 4:30 PM discussion remotely, please register so that a meeting link can be sent to you.
