The Ainsworth Public Library will resume their Book Club this January. The first title selection for the year will be “A Man Called Ove” by Fredrik Backman. Multiple copies of this book will be available for check-out the week of December 14th. The group will be gathering at the library on January 19th at 2 p.m. to share thoughts on the title.
This is a novel about a grumpy man named Ove. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when a chatty young couple with two young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents’ association to their very foundations.
The February selection will feature the 2021 One Book One Nebraska title of “Prairie Forge-The Extraordinary Story of the Nebraska Scrap Metal Drive of World War II” by James J. Kimble. Please contact the library (402-387-2032) if you need more information.
