America250 Book Club

2026 marks America’s 250th birthday & NCPL has no shortage of celebrations in store! Start off the festivities with our short term America 250 Book Club, which will run from April to June and rotate meetings across our branches. 

The first selection, Caleb’s Crossing by Geraldine Brooks, will be available for pick up at the New Haven Branch in early March (also available on Libby), with the discussion happening at the New Haven Branch on April 7 at 5 pm. Join us to examine the development of our country through the lens of literature, starting with the Puritan era.

Take note of upcoming sessions:

• May 5 @ 5 pm: discuss The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd at the Main Branch (also available on Libby)
• June 2 @ 5 pm: discuss The Greatest Generation by Tom Brokaw at the Bloomfield Branch (also available on Libby)
