This month we will be reading and discussing "Horse" by Geraldine Brooks. 

A discarded painting in a junk pile, a skeleton in an attic, and the greatest racehorse in American history: from these strands, this Pulitzer Prize winner braids a sweeping story of spirit, obsession, and injustice across American history. Following a famous racehorse, an enslaved groom, and a painting of the two across 1850's Kentucky, 1950's New York, and the Smithsonian in 2019, Horse is a gripping, multi-layered reckoning with the legacy of enslavement and racism in America.

"Horse" is available through our catalog, and as an eBook and an eAudiobook through CloudLibrary. Please visit our front desk or call 941-861-1744 to reserve a copy of the book.

We will be meeting in-person in the Shannon Staub Library Conference Room, as well as virtually on Zoom. Register online to receive the log-in information for the Zoom session.
