Is the BOOK always BETTER? Join us on the fourth Monday of each month when we will watch a movie based on the book we have read during the month then have a discussion comparing them. Books for the next gathering are always available on movie viewing night. This is open every month to anyone who wants to join the discussion. Books are available at the library. 

This month's book: Winter's Bone by Daniell Woodrell

The sheriff's deputy at the front door brings hard news to Ree Dolly. Her father has skipped bail on charges that he ran a crystal meth lab, and the Dollys will lose their house if he doesn't show up for his next court date.  The Dolly clan has worked the shadowy side of the law for generations, and arrests (and attempts to avoid them) are part of life in Rathlin Valley. But the house is all they have, and Ree's father would never forfeit it to the bond company unless something awful happened. With two young brothers depending on her and a mother who's entered a kind of second childhood, sixteen year old Ree knows she has to bring her father back, dead or alive, or else see her family turned out into the unforgiving cold.  Ree has grown up in the harsh poverty of the Ozarks, and  learns quickly that asking questions of the rough Dolly clan can be a fatal mistake. She perseveres past obstacles of every kind and finally confronts the top figures in the family's hierarchy. Along the way to a shocking revelation, Ree discovers unexpected depths in herself and in a family network that protects its own at any cost.
