Library to Host Non-Fiction Book Club

Tompkins County Public Library’s Truth Be Told Non-Fiction Book Club will meet Tuesday, August 4 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Library’s BorgWarner Community Room for a discussion of J.R. Moehringer’s acclaimed book, “The Tender Bar.”

This classic American story of self-invention and escape is suspenseful, wrenching and achingly funny.  It’s the poignant tale of the fierce love between a single mother and an only son and an unforgettable portrait of a boy’s struggle to become a man, with the help of a fathering-by-committee provided by characters from a local bar.

The Truth Be Told Non-Fiction Book Club is free and open to the public.  Limited copies of the book are available for new and existing Club members at the Library’s Adult Services Reference Desk.
