Need a good book to curl up with? Here is a unique opportunity to read and discuss with your neighbors. The Seward Community Library Museum is sponsoring Love and Forgiveness, a book discussion opportunity. The series explores the themes of love and forgiveness in everyday life through classic and contemporary literature. The library’s series will explore the theme of Love and Forgiveness in the Face of the Enemy. The library is one of 50 libraries nationwide receiving grants to host the series developed by the American Library Association and the Fetzer Institute’s Campaign for Love and Forgiveness. Doug Capra, series scholar, will lead the discussions and has created a reading guide for each. The first eight people to sign up for a specific title will receive a copy of the book. Please come by the library to sign up, pick up your book and get started on reading while the weather is cold. Sign up is available January 4. Titles, dates and times of each discussion are below.
