SUMMARY:Tuesday Night Book Club: Atmosphere: A Love Story
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of Atmosphere: A Love Story by Taylor Jenkins Reid\, an epic and emotionally charged novel set against the backdrop of NASA’s 1980s space shuttle program. The story follows Joan Goodwin\, a reserved physics and astronomy professor whose lifelong fascination with the stars propels her to apply for a groundbreaking opportunity to become one of the first women scientists in space. Selected from thousands of applicants\, Joan begins intense training at Johnson Space Center\, where she forms unexpected bonds with a diverse group of fellow astronaut candidates. As their friendships deepen and the pressures of spaceflight mount\, Joan discovers a passion—and a love—that challenges her understanding of herself and her place in the universe. When a mission changes everything\, Joan must confront the risks of ambition and the transformative power of love. Copies are available at the first-floor circulation desk. New members are always welcome!

SUMMARY:Monday Morning Book Club: My Beloved World
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of My Beloved World by Sonia Sotomayor\, a candid and inspiring memoir by the first Hispanic and third woman appointed to the United States Supreme Court. Justice Sotomayor traces her journey from a Bronx housing project to the nation’s highest court\, reflecting on a childhood shaped by loss\, resilience\, and a fierce determination to succeed. Diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at a young age\, she learned early the importance of self-reliance\, discipline\, and ambition. Along the way\, Sotomayor explores the mentors\, friendships\, and life experiences that guided her path through Princeton\, Yale Law School\, and a distinguished legal career. Both deeply personal and broadly resonant\, the memoir offers a powerful meditation on perseverance\, empathy\, and the promise of opportunity. Copies are available at the first-floor circulation desk. New members are always welcome!
