Book Club
On the third Tuesday morning every month, the Sidney Public Library hosts a book club. Members of the club, having read the selection of the month, meet to discuss the book and anything else that follows from the book. Everyone has their own reason for being there. But mostly it is about reading a good book.
The Sidney Public Library is always looking for new book club members. All are welcome to join the discussion on the third Tuesday of each month at 10:00am.
If you are interested in a different type of book club, such as genre-based (like science fiction), age-based (like teens), or one that meets in the evening please contact the library to see about setting something up. The Sidney Library will happily entertain book club ideas.
June 18, 2024 - Project Hail Mary by Andy Wier - Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission—and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish.
Except that right now, he doesn’t know that. He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it.
All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.
His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it’s up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery—and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.
And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he’s got to do it all alone.
Or does he?
