Downers Grove Public Library

Meeting Room Both (Max Capacity 100)

We'll discuss Mailman: My Wild Ride Delivering the Mail in Appalachia and Finally Finding Home. Books are available at the Adult and Teen Services Desk one month before each discussion.

An exuberant, hilarious, and profound memoir by a mailman in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, who found that working for the post office saved his life, taught him who he was, gave him purpose, and educated him deeply about a country he loves but had lost touch with.

Contact the Adult and Teen Services Desk at ATS@dglibrary.org with questions.
