Join Norwood Library’s Adult Book Club for a discussion of our latest selection Calypso by David Sedaris. For Adults
When he buys a beach house on the Carolina coast, Sedaris envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and lounging in the sun with those he loves most. Life at the Sea Section, as he names the vacation home, is exactly as idyllic as he imagined, except for one tiny, vexing realization: it's impossible to take a vacation from yourself. These stories are very funny, but much of the comedy here is born out of that moment when your own body betrays you and you realize that your story is made up of more past than future.
If you would like a copy of the book, please drop by Norwood Library to pick up a copy or get a digital copy. Check the catalog here: https://tinyurl.com/BookClubCalypso

The original Norwood Library opened on November 22, 1950 as a storefront library at 4772 Peck Road. The library was opened to provide service to residents of the unincorporated area north of the city of El Monte.
The city annexed this area in the early 1960's. Property for a larger site was purchased in 1967. Finally, on April 15, 1977, the new Norwood Library opened at this address.
The library has an active Friends of the Library which strongly supports library programs and services.
