Our Adult Summer Reading Club Kickoff will end with a Pub Quiz Night in the Library at 7 pm.

Bring your own team or meet new people by joining one that night.
On June 15 at 7:00 p.m., join us for our Evening Book Discussion,
Anita de Monte Laughs Last by Xochitl Gonzalez. This program is part of the Summer Reading Club; event tickets will be given to attendees. 1985. Anita de Monte, a rising star in the art world, is found dead in New York City. By 1998, Anita’s name has been all but forgotten—certainly by the time Raquel, a third-year art history student is preparing her final thesis. On College Hill, surrounded by privileged students whose futures are already paved out for them, Raquel feels like an outsider. When Raquel becomes romantically involved with a well-connected older art student, she finds herself unexpectedly rising up the social ranks. As she attempts to straddle both worlds, she stumbles upon Anita’s story, raising questions about the dynamics of her own relationship, which eerily mirrors that of the forgotten artist.
