Page Turner’s Book Club: June 21st Joint Meeting

On June 21 Page Turners will hold their semi-annual joint meeting. The Monday and Thursday afternoon groups get together in June and December to socialize, enjoy a “blind” book exchange, and generally have fun and refreshments.
The much anticipated list of nine books that the groups will read in the 2018/2019 year will also be revealed! Members submitted a list of approximately 36 titles and then voted for their favorites, which are the nine books we will be reading in the upcoming year.
Also at the June meeting we will be discussing The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind (published in 2009), written by William Kamkwamba together with journalist Bryan Mealer. It is the story of William’s young life in Malawi and how his fascination with science brought him at the age of 14 to build a primitive windmill that provided his poverty stricken family with limited electricity. The book describes the individual belief that he could improve the living conditions of his family and ultimately his community by bringing electricity and running water to them by means of his scientific study and resulting inventions.
