Senior Book Club

Read or listen to a preselected book at home and discuss it at the monthly meeting. Each registrant will receive a complimentary copy of the book, while supplies last.

Hannah tells the story of the Allbright family as they move to rural Alaska in 1974, seeking a new life after Ernt, the father, struggles with the psychological effects of his service in the Vietnam War. The family's journey is fraught with challenges, including Ernt's volatile behavior, the harsh Alaskan winter, and the isolation they experience as they try to adapt to their new, unforgiving environment.

This event will be held at the Center for Senior Citizens. Call 630-260-6050 to register.
