Library Book Group Meeting.
Please join the library staff in a discussion of Frankenstein
by Mary Shelley. Scientist Victor Frankenstein learns how
to create life and makes a being in the likeness of man but larger
and more powerful. Written by Mary Shelley when she was just
19 years old and published in 1818, this novel is a mesmerizing
combination of Gothic horror and science fiction. Readers may
bring their own copy or place a hold on a library item.
Refreshments will be served. |
