The Afternoon Book Group will be held online monthly as a Zoom event. Contact Sarah Letnes at scletnes@gmail.com to find out the book selection for each month, how to obtain the book from the Montgomery County Library's online site, and how to log onto the Zoom teleconference site for the group meeting to discuss the book.

The April book will be The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro, hosted by Christine Skarbek.

From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, here is “an intricate and dazzling novel” (The New York Times) about the perfect butler and his fading, insular world in post-World War II England.   This is Kazuo Ishiguro's profoundly compelling portrait of a butler named Stevens. Stevens, at the end of three decades of service at Darlington Hall, spending a day on a country drive, embarks as well on a journey through the past in an effort to reassure himself that he has served humanity by serving the "great gentleman," Lord Darlington. But lurking in his memory are doubts about the true nature of Lord Darlington's "greatness," and much graver doubts about the nature of his own life.

The group will meet on the second Thursday of each month from 3:00m to 4:30pm. Zoom contact information:
