Library Book Group Meeting.  Please join the library staff in a discussion of Smilla's Sense of Snow by Peter Hoeg.  Smilla Jaspersen, half Danish, half Greenlander, attempts to understand the death of a small boy who falls from the roof of her apartment building. Her childhood in Greenland gives her an appreciation for the complex structures of snow, and when she notices that the boy's footprints show he ran to his death, she decides to find out who was chasing him.  An international bestseller, this book combines aspects of literary fiction with those of the thriller.  Readers may bring their own copy or place a hold on a library item.  Refreshments will be served.
