Las Cruces Public Libraries is extending an open invitation to literature enthusiasts for the Branigan Book Club's upcoming meeting, a gathering where the latest book under scrutiny will be "James" by Percival Everett. According to the City of Las Cruces, the club is set to convene at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 25, in the first-floor Kiva Room of Thomas Branigan Memorial Library situated at 200 E. Picacho Ave., conveniently accessible via Roadrunner Transit Route 1.
The group, meeting consistently every fourth Tuesday of the month, favors works that lean towards the more earnest and literary end of the spectrum, dabbling in both fiction and nonfiction. Delving into the club's future picks, March will have them turning the pages of "The Women" by Kristen Hannah. Come April, the conversation will pivot to “Beaverland: How One Weird Rodent Made America” by Leila Philip, a book intriguingly titled. When May's gentle breezes blow, members of the Branigan Book Club will be dissecting “Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers” by Jesse Q. Sutanto.
The library supports the avid readers of this group by providing a limited supply of the discussed books each month. These are available for book club participants to check out, ensuring they can engage fully in the rich conversations that ensue. Addressing the growing interest in the club, the library encourages new members to join the discourse, stimulating the mind and the community spirit alike.
Those looking to indulge their reading habits amidst the company of fellow enthusiasts or seeking to dip their toes into the literary conversation are encouraged to attend. For details on membership and access to the book club selections, interested parties are directed to the Branigan Book Club page on the City of Las Cruces website, where more information awaits the curious and the bookish. It's a rendezvous for minds eager to explore the layers of narrative and challenge their perspectives through the diverse lenses of literature.
