Choose a Book!  In honor of National Library Week (April 10-16th) we will be hosting our first-ever FACEBOOK FAN BOOK DISCUSSION! But first we need to vote on which book to read. 

Your choices are:










A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin (192 pgs)
In this first book, A Wizard of Earthsea readers will witness Sparrowhawk's moving rite of passage--when he discovers his true name and becomes a young man. Great challenges await Sparrowhawk, including an almost deadly battle with a sinister creature, a monster that may be his own shadow.

The Thief and the Dogs by Naguib Mahfouz (160 pgs)
Spanning the wealthy suburbs and crowded slums of Cairo, this thrilling crime story combines stream of consciousness technique with the hard-boiled style of detective fiction to create a harrowing account of crime and punishment.
Old School by Tobias Wolff (195 pgs)Set in a New England prep school in the early 1960s, the novel imagines a final, pastoral moment before the explosion of the Civil Rights movement, the Vietnam War, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and the suicide of Ernest Hemingway.
Cast your vote by commenting on our Facebook Page post. 

The winning title will be announced on April 11th and discussion participants will then be able to pick a copy of the book up at the Manitowoc Public Library.
Our online discussion will be held during the last week of April.
