Library to Launch 2017 Young Adult Book Club With “Animal Farm”


New and returning members of the Tompkins County Public Library’s Young Adult Book Club will explore the symbolism and spirit of the George Orwell classic, “Animal Farm,” Wednesday, January 18 from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. in the Thaler/Howell Programming Room.

Members in grades six through 12 are invited to share their thoughts on one of the most famous 20th century political allegories during this free meeting.  “Animal Farm” is told from the prospective of a group of barnyard animals who revolt against their vicious human master, only to submit to a tyranny elected by their own kind.

Snacks and refreshments will be provided. Free copies of all Club selections are available for members to keep by visiting the Youth Services Reference Desk.

For more information, contact Teen Services Librarian Regina DeMauro at rdemauro@tcpl.org or (607) 272-4557 extension 274.

Support for the Young Adult Book Club has been provided by the Tompkins County Public Library Foundation through funding from the Phyllis and Charles Brodhead Memorial Endowed Fund.
