READ. TALK. MAKE.

The Book to Art Club combines book discussion with hands-on project making to engage further with literature.

Join the Book to Art Club for a Skype book discussion as we make hands-on projects at home, but together virtually, and show and share through digital images.  Registration is required so that we can connect with you through Skype. 

Registrants will be notified when club copies are available of the books for pickup at the library's first floor help desk.  Digital book copies may be available through Overdrive/Libby, Hoopla or RB Digital.  We will provide optional maker kits for virtual discussions which meet through Skype.  

*Please sign up for a free Skype account in advance and register with your mobile phone number AND email address so we can add you to the Skype discussion group.*

Follow us on Goodreads and Pinterest!.  See what is happening with other Book to Art Clubs around the world on the Book to Art Club Blog.

Mead discussion groups are free, funded by the Friends of Mead Public Library.  The Book to Art Club was created by the Library as Incubator Project.
 

Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
Set in the days of civilization's collapse, Station Eleven tells the story of a Hollywood star, his would-be savior, and a nomadic group of actors roaming the scattered outposts of the Great Lakes region, risking everything for art and humanity.

One snowy night a famous Hollywood actor slumps over and dies onstage during a production of King Lear. Hours later, the world as we know it begins to dissolve. Moving back and forth in time—from the actor's early days as a film star to fifteen years in the future, when a theater troupe known as the Traveling Symphony roams the wasteland of what remains—this suspenseful, elegiac, spellbinding novel charts the strange twists of fate that connect five people: the actor, the man who tried to save him, the actor's first wife, his oldest friend, and a young actress with the Traveling Symphony, caught in the crosshairs of a dangerous self-proclaimed prophet.
