Between the Lines Reads The Fifth Child

Posted on by Olivia

BTL Meets in October

If you like to read a variety of books, and if you like to discuss the books you read, check out one of the Aurora Public Library District’s adult book groups, Between the Lines!

There will be afternoon groups that meet at the Aurora Public Library on October 26 @ 1:00 pm and the Dillsboro Public Library on October 27 @ 1:00 pm. There will also be an evening meeting at the Local History Library on October 31 @ 6:30 pm. We will be discussing The Fifth Child by Doris Lessing.

In the unfettered atmosphere of the late 1960s, a couple builds a life based on their belief in the superior value of tradition and normalcy. A large house, a large family, all the expected pleasantries convince them they can remain untouched by dark events–until the birth of their fifth child, a gruesome, insatiably hungry, violent child.

This FREE program does require registration. If you would like to register, please speak to a librarian at the Aurora or Dillsboro Public Library to pick up a book and reserve your spot today.

As a reminder, this will be the last Between the Lines meeting of 2023. The club will start meeting again in January of 2024.

We can’t wait to see you there!

storytime is back

OUT OF THIS WORLD reading will be taking place in October Story Time!

Spaceships, galaxies, planets, and aliens will be some featured characters in the month of October. Let’s take a trip into space and see what kind of space vehicles there are! Let’s not forget those far, far away galaxies (well… maybe they are in a jar!). Meanwhile, back on Earth, we will arrive safely after going on a thrilling adventure into space and back.

We can’t wait to share all the stories the library has to offer with you this October! See you there, and don’t forget your space suit!
