On the Same Page: Beach Read
2025-07-17 18:30 - 19:30
Every other month, adult patrons read and discuss the same book. This month, we’re reading Beach Read by Emily Henry.
Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. For three months, these opposites live in neighboring beach houses, bogged down with writer’s block, and they strike a deal to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will write something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. They’ll go on field trips to help both novels along. Both will finish a book, and no one will fall in love. Really.
Upcoming Titles:

July 17: Beach Read by Emily Henry
September 4 [RESCHEDULED]: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
November 20: Dead Wake by Erik Larson
