Come to our Ontario Public Library Week book chat
Come and celebrate Ontario Public Library Week with us at our 'special edition' book club! We are reading The Midnight Library by Matt Haig and having light discussion around this great read. Once you have registered, please stop by Aldershot Branch to pick up your book from the customer service desk.
Between life and death there is a library. When Nora Seed finds herself in the Midnight Library, she has a chance to make things right. Her life has been full of misery and regret and she feels she has let everyone down, including herself. But things are about to change. The books in the Midnight Library enable Nora to live as if she had done things differently. With the help of an old friend, she can now undo every one of her regrets as she tries to work out her perfect life. But things aren't always what she imagined they'd be, and soon her choices place the library and herself in extreme danger. Before time runs out, she must answer the ultimate question: what is the best way to live?
