Just finished another riveting book and craving some lively discussion? Join us for a book club that is anything but dry?
Centennial Hills Library in partnership with Councilwoman Nancy Brune invite you to join us for this afterhours book club that pairs delicious mocktails with books that showcase Nevada’s unique essence and history.
Each quarter, we’ll feature a new title for discussion paired with mocktails that are just as lively as the stories themselves. Whether you bring your buddies or are looking to meet new literary enthusiasts, prepare for an after-hours experience where Nevada's tales and tantalizing mocktails create unforgettable connections.
This Quarter’s Book: We Are Called to Rise by Laura McBride. Click here to see the book in our catalog.
Three lives are bound together by a split-second mistake, and a child's fate hangs in the balance. What happens next will test and restore your faith in humanity.
Far from the neon lights of the Vegas strip, three lives are about to collide. A middle aged woman attempting to revive her marriage. A returning soldier waking up in a hospital with no memory of how he got there. A very brave eight-year-old immigrant boy.
This is a story about families' the ones we have and the ones we make. It's a story about America today, where so many cultures and points of view collide and coexist. We Are Called to Rise challenges us to think about our responsibilities to each other and reminds us that no matter how cruel life can be in a given moment, it is ultimately beautiful to live, and live fully.
A variety of mocktails will be provided to include Ginger Lime Mule, Lime Margarita, Grapefruit Paloma, and Watermelon Mojito.
Register early as space is limited. Free and open to the public. Must be 18 years or over to attend.
A limited number of books are available for checkout at the Centennial Hills Library Multiservices Desk after registering. Digital editions may also be available through our catalog.
