The Round House by Louise Erdrich

The Fendrick Library in Mercersburg has the solution to the gray days of winter by connecting the community
with the NEW Community Connect @ the Fendrick Library: Books to Movies!
From staying home and limited contact with co-workers, friends, and family, many of you are starting to feel isolated or running out of things to talk about it. The Community Connect -Books to Movies appeals to everyone and offers a new topic for discussion. It is also an opportunity to initiate a conversation when out, on the phone, to plan a virtual ?movie night? or book discussion. Maybe you know someone who would enjoy you reading a few chapters each day to them virtually or by phone. Be Creative!
