SUMMARY:Jury Duty: a True Crime Book Club discusses Yellow Bird
DESCRIPTION:Tell you’re friends you’re busy! You’ve got… JURY DUTY! \nOur latest pop-up book club theme is for fans of true crime shows\, podcasts\, and documentaries. Jury Duty\, a True Crime Book Club\, will host two reads this fall with our friends at Affogato Lane Coffee Co. (open after hours special for us!) and dive into the pages and cases of some notorious and high profile crimes. \nOur October selection is Yellow Bird: Oil\, Murder\, and a Woman’s Search for Justice in Indian Country by Sierra Crane Murdoch. Copies are available for checkout at the library desk; just ask! Food and drink will be available for purchase at the program. \nABOUT THE BOOK:\nWhen Lissa Yellow Bird was released from prison in 2009\, she found her home\, the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in North Dakota\, transformed by the Bakken oil boom. In her absence\, the landscape had been altered beyond recognition\, her tribal government swayed by corporate interests\, and her community burdened by a surge in violence and addiction. Three years later\, when Lissa learned that a young white oil worker\, Kristopher “KC” Clarke\, had disappeared from his reservation worksite\, she became particularly concerned. No one knew where Clarke had gone\, and few people were actively looking for him. \nYellow Bird traces Lissa’s steps as she obsessively hunts for clues to Clarke’s disappearance. She navigates two worlds–that of her own tribe\, changed by its newfound wealth\, and that of the non-Native oilmen\, down on their luck\, who have come to find work on the heels of the economic recession. Her pursuit of Clarke is also a pursuit of redemption\, as Lissa atones for her own crimes and reckons with generations of trauma.

SUMMARY:Jury Duty: a True Crime Book Club discusses Furious Hours
DESCRIPTION:Tell you’re friends you’re busy! You’ve got… JURY DUTY! \nOur latest pop-up book club theme is for fans of true crime shows\, podcasts\, and documentaries. Jury Duty\, a True Crime Book Club\, will host two reads this fall with our friends at Affogato Lane Coffee Co. (open after hours special for us!) and dive into the pages and cases of some notorious and high profile crimes. \nOur September selection is Furious Hours: Murder\, Fraud\, and the Last Trial of Harper Lee. Copies are available for checkout at the library desk; just ask! Food and drink will be available for purchase at the program. \nABOUT THE BOOK:\nThe stunning story of an Alabama serial killer and the true-crime book that Harper Lee worked on obsessively in the years after To Kill a Mockingbird. \nReverend Willie Maxwell was a rural preacher accused of murdering five of his family members for insurance money in the 1970s. With the help of a savvy lawyer\, he escaped justice for years until a relative shot him dead at the funeral of his last victim. Despite hundreds of witnesses\, Maxwell’s murderer was acquitted – thanks to the same attorney who had previously defended the Reverend. \nAs Alabama is consumed by these gripping events\, it’s not long until news of the case reaches Alabama’s – and America’s – most famous writer. Intrigued by the story\, Harper Lee makes a journey back to her home state to witness the Reverend’s killer face trial. Lee had the idea of writing her own In Cold Blood\, the true-crime classic she had helped her friend Truman Capote research. She spent a year in town reporting on the Maxwell case and many more years trying to finish the book she called The Reverend. \nNow Casey Cep brings this story to life\, from the shocking murders to the courtroom drama to the racial politics of the Deep South. At the same time\, she offers a deeply moving portrait of one of America’s most beloved writers and her struggle with fame\, success and the mystery of artistic creativity. \nThis is the story Harper Lee wanted to write. This is the story of why she couldn’t.

SUMMARY:High School Reunion: a YA Book Club for Grownups Discusses This is My America
DESCRIPTION:Do you like to read young adult novels? It’s cool; we do too! Join us for this special edition summer book club\, High School Reunion! It’s YA for grownups! \nCopies of the book can be checked out from the La Crescent Public Library. Just ask at the desk! Read the book\, and come discuss at Sports Hub in the side room over dinner and drinks! It’ll be a fun\, social\, engaging chat with other readers who love YA just as much as you! \nOur August selection is This is My America by Kim Johnson. Nominated as Best Fiction for Young Adults by both Goodreads and the American Library Association. \nABOUT THE BOOK:\nDear Martin meets Just Mercy in this unflinching yet uplifting YA novel that explores the racist injustices in the American justice system. \nEvery week\, seventeen-year-old Tracy Beaumont writes letters to Innocence X\, asking the organization to help her father\, an innocent Black man on death row. After seven years\, Tracy is running out of time—her dad has only 267 days left. Then the unthinkable happens. The police arrive in the night\, and Tracy’s older brother\, Jamal\, goes from being a bright\, promising track star to a “thug” on the run\, accused of killing a white girl. Determined to save her brother\, Tracy investigates what really happened between Jamal and Angela down at the Pike. But will Tracy and her family survive the uncovering of the skeletons of their Texas town’s racist history that still haunt the present?

SUMMARY:High School Reunion: a YA Book Club for Grownups Discusses Gilded
DESCRIPTION:Do you like to read young adult novels? It’s cool; we do too! Join us for this special edition summer book club\, High School Reunion! It’s YA for grownups! \nCopies of the book can be checked out from the La Crescent Public Library. Just ask at the desk!

It’ll be a fun\, social\, engaging chat with other readers who love YA just as much as you! \nOur July selection is Gilded by Marissa Meyer. Fans of The Lunar Chronicles will love this reimagining of the tale of Rumpelstiltskin. \nABOUT THE BOOK:\nLong ago cursed by the god of lies\, a poor miller’s daughter has developed a talent for spinning stories that are fantastical and spellbinding and entirely untrue. \nOr so everyone believes. \nWhen one of Serilda’s outlandish tales draws the attention of the sinister Erlking and his undead hunters\, she finds herself swept away into a grim world where ghouls and phantoms prowl the earth and hollow-eyed ravens track her every move. The king orders Serilda to complete the impossible task of spinning straw into gold\, or be killed for telling falsehoods. In her desperation\, Serilda unwittingly summons a mysterious boy to her aid. He agrees to help her… for a price. \nSoon Serilda realizes that there is more than one secret hidden in the castle walls\, including an ancient curse that must be broken if she hopes to end the tyranny of the king and his wild hunt forever.
