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.

Jacob Jankowski, a veterinary student, is close to graduating when a terrible tragedy forces him to leave school. With nowhere else to go, he hops on a passing train and finds it belongs to a traveling circus. Jacob takes a job as an animal caretaker and meets Marlena, a beautiful circus performer. Their shared compassion for a special elephant named Rosie leads to love, but August, Marlena's cruel husband, stands in their way. 

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