The Community Library Book Club: “The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store”

The Community Library Book Club is hosted the first Wednesday of every other month and led by a diverse range of library staff. Books cover all genres from new fiction to classics to nonfiction, young adult, graphic novels, and everything in between. Register at www.comlib.org to join the club. The group meets in the Programs Studio, downstairs from the Children’s Library.

February’s pick is “The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store” by James McBride. The discussion will be led by circulation manager Pam Parker.

In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows.

“The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store” is available at The Community Library in multiple formats. Please come in or talk to our librarians about reserving a copy.
