CLS Book Club: Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng

August 2, 2023 @ 10:30 am - 11:30 am

Free

An old story made new, Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng explores the power—and limitations— of art to create meaningful and lasting change.

Join us on Wednesday, August 2, at 10:30AM for a lively Book Club discussion on this exciting novel. We’ll unpack some of the story’s core themes, including the lessons and legacies we pass on to our children, and how any of us can survive a broken world with our hearts intact.

CLS Book Club is FREE, in-person, open to the public—whether you’ve finished the book, are thinking about starting it, or couldn’t make it past the half-way point. All that is required is an RSVP via the form below. 

For a copy of the book, check out our catalog here, or shop local at Buxton Books.

About CLS Book Club
The CLS Book Club has become a space for conversations about wide ranging topics, but such a book, so directly connected to a library’s mission, has never been chosen. We hope that this book will provide an opportunity to discuss banned books, freedom of speech, educational access, historical importance of librarianship, and the power that libraries hold in the 21st Century and beyond.
