Book Discussion Group Reads Let The Great World Spin By Colum Mccann

SPRINGFIELD–The Springfield Free Public Library’s (Really Good) Book Discussion Group will meet on Thursday, Feb. 2 at 7 p.m. to discuss “Let the Great World Spin” by Colum McCann. In the early light of a late-summer morning in 1974, a crowd gathers in lower Manhattan, watching a tightrope walker run, dance, and leap between the Twin Towers, a quarter mile above the ground. In the streets below, a slew of ordinary lives become extraordinary in McCann’s intricate portrait of a city and its people.

Discussions take place at 7 p.m. in the Palmer Museum. Refreshments are served. New members are welcome. To reserve your copy of the book call 1-973-376-4930 x229 or send an e-mail: questions@sfplnj.org. The Springfield Free Public Library is located at 66 Mountain Avenue, Springfield.
