BOOK CLUB MEETS MONDAY

Afghanistan and a riveting true story about the real lives of women there will be the topic at the Monday, April 22 meeting of the Royalton Hartland Book Club.

The group will meet at 7 p.m. in the upstairs meeting room at the library, 9 Vernon Street in Middleport.

This month’s reading selection is "The Dressmaker of Khair Khana," a book by ABC journalist Gayle Tzemach Lemmon, who tells the unforgettable true story of Kamila Sidiqi and other women of Afghanistan and how they lived during the Taliban’s rise to power. Lemmon’s book recounts the actions of a fearless young woman who became an entrepreneur to save her family and in the face of frightening opposition, brought hope to the lives of dozens of women in war-weary Kabul.

The members of the Royalton Hartland Book Club meet monthly to discuss a wide variety of literary selections and a variety of opinions and new members are always welcome.

Interested readers are invited to attend this month’s meeting, or any of the future meetings at the library, which are posted online at www.royhartcommunitylibrary.com.

Please call the library at 716-735-3281 with any questions or for more information.
