COQUITLAM
Monday Evening Book Club: Hosted by reference librarian Vanessa Colantonio, this book club runs from 7:30 to 8:45 p.m. in the boardroom at the Poirier branch. The next meeting will be on Dec. 1 and the club will discuss Me Before You by JoJo Moyes. (Synopsis: "Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick. What Lou doesn't know is she's about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane.") For more information on this Book Club, email [email protected].
