Meeting Room Both (Max Capacity 100)

We'll discuss The Book of Delights by Ross Gay. Books are available at the Adult & Teen Services Desk one month before each discussion.

In The Book of Delights, one of today's most original literary voices offers up a genre-defying volume of lyric essays written over one tumultuous year. The first nonfiction book from award-winning poet Ross Gay is a record of the small joys we often overlook in our busy lives.
