Thursday, November 20 at 6:00 p.m., the Sandisfield Women's Book Group will meet to discuss Leaving Time by Jodie Picoult. A mystery about a young girl, Jenna, who hires a psychic and a jaded detective to find her mother, Alice, an elephant researcher who disappeared ten years earlier after a tragic accident at the elephant sanctuary they ran. The novel explores themes of grief, loss, and the complex bonds between mothers and daughters, both human and elephant. Join us for discussion and camaraderie. All month long - It is never too late to participate in the Massachusetts Center for the Book 2025 Reading Challenge. November's book is a cookbook or book about food. Just in time for the holiday meals and goodies preparations. And yes, the library has quite a few cook books to titillate your taste buds. The Sandisfield Library Food Pantry Out of time?
