Through the efforts of Tiz Duve, the Jackson County Public Library staff will host a book club every other month of the year, beginning in January on the 2nd Thursday of the month at 7 pm. Book club facilitators will be library staff members who will choose a book to be read and discussed. This program is co-sponsored by the Friends of the Jackson County Main Library.
At each meeting the next title and facilitator will be announced. The public is encouraged to join our group. The library will order extra copies of the selected titles.

When Bella Swan moves from sunny Phoenix to Forks, Washington, a damp and dreary town known for the most rainfall in the United States, to live with her dad, she isnt expecting to like it. But the level of hostility displayed by her standoffish high school biology lab partner, Edward Cullen, surprises her. After several strange interactions, his preternatural beauty, strength, and speed have her intrigued. Edward is just as fascinated with Bella, and their attraction to one another grows. As Bella discovers more about Edwards nature and his family, she is thrown headlong into a dangerous adventure that has her making a desperate sacrifice to save her one true love.
