Book Club in May
The LCPL Book Club will meet at 6:30 pm on Thursday, May 31 at the Library to discuss the book The Zookeeper's Wife by Diane Ackerman.
Jan and Antonia Zabinski were Polish Christian zookeepers horrified by Nazi racism, who managed to save over 300 people. Yet their story has fallen between the seams of history. Drawing on Antonia's diary and other historical sources, best-selling naturalist Diane Ackerman vividly re-creates Antonia Zabinski's life as "the zookeeper's wife" responsible for her own family, the zoo animals, and their "Guests" - Resistance activists and refugee Jews...
...the Zabinski's young son risked his life carrying food to the Guests, while also tending an eccentric array of creatures in the house (pigs, hare, muskrat, foxes and more)
The LCPL Book Club meets monthly to discuss books of interest on various subjects. All are welcome to participate! If you are interested, please contact the library at 419-533-5721 and ask that a copy of the book be requested on your behalf. For more details ask or leave a message for Karen Savage.
