The main character is a young German girl who finds that reading helps to sustain her in an increasingly brutal world, and whose story is told by a quite unusual narrator.&nbsp; If intrigued, please join us at 3:00 on Wednesday, March 25th, in McCollough&#39;s meeting room at the east end of the library.&nbsp; Copies will be&nbsp;available for checkout at McCollough&#39;s circulation desk. &nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://evpl.org/community/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1312" width="1" height="1">mccollough branchbook discussionsGermanyWord War II -- fictionbooks and reading
