The Cherry Cola Book Club [large print] by Lee, Ashton.(CARDINAL)403105;
Set in a small town in Mississippi, The Cherry Cola Book Club is the touching and sometimes hilarious story of a young, upbeat librarian who has been given an ultimatum to increase the library's circulation dramatically -- or risk having to close its doors. Maura doesn't just start a book club, she gets involved in unique and unexpected ways with her library patrons. She entertains and advises them, she has potluck dinners, and life in the town begins to imitate art. Soon, the library patrons begin to relate their own lives to the work of writers like Margaret Mitchell and Harper Lee. In moving and personal ways, Maura helps her fellow townspeople deal with such subjects as long-lost love and a brush with death, offering advice on nearly everything, including romance. No topic is off limits. And along the way, Maura raises the profile of the library -- but will it be enough?
