This month we read the first of the Warriors series, Into the Wild by Erin Hunter.

From the publisher:

Epic adventures. Fierce warrior cats. A thrilling fantasy world. It all begins here.

For generations, four Clans of wild cats have shared the forest according to the laws laid down by their ancestors. But the warrior code has been threatened, and the ThunderClan cats are in grave danger. The sinister ShadowClan grows stronger every day. Noble warriors are dying—and some deaths are more mysterious than others.

In the midst of this turmoil appears an ordinary housecat named Rusty… who may turn out to be the bravest warrior of them all.

Celebrate the LGBTQ+ community every month with our Read with Pride book club! We read fiction and nonfiction titles by queer authors and/or featuring queer characters.

We meet the third Tuesday of the month at the Fairmount Branch at 6:30pm. Books are available on a first come, first serve basis at Fairmount. This program is best suited to adults. Registration is required.
