Book Discussion Series @ Red Jacket Community Library
Our next book discussion will be Thursday, Feb, 26th @ 7PM
We will talk about The Life of Pi by Yann Martel.
Yann Martel's imaginative and unforgettable Life of Pi is a magical reading experience about adventure, survival, and ultimately, faith. The precocious son of a zookeeper, 16-year-old Pi Patel is raised in Pondicherry, India, where he tries on various faiths for size, attracting "religions the way a dog attracts fleas." Planning a move to Canada, his father packs up the family and their menagerie and they hitch a ride on an enormous freighter. After a harrowing shipwreck, Pi finds himself adrift in the Pacific Ocean, trapped on a 26-foot lifeboat with a wounded zebra, a spotted hyena, a seasick orangutan, and a 450-pound Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. After much gore and infighting, Pi and Richard Parker remain the boat's sole passengers, drifting for 227 days through shark-infested waters while fighting hunger, the elements, and an overactive imagination.

Join us for our annual Fat Tuesday concert and free celebration as we host the Alfred St. John Trinadad & Tobago Steelband. Free beads for all! C'mon, like you have anything else to do and you know you wanna reason to get out of the house. It's mid-February, you have cabin fever, and the Library is so close; it won't even take much gas.
