Thursday, June 26, at 6:00 p.m., the Sandisfield Women's Book Group will meet to discuss Treasure Island by Robert Lewis Stevenson. The novel, one of many by the famed Scottish author, is structured around the hunt for a fortune of massive proportions. The existence of this fortune tempts nearly all the characters in the novel - few are exempt from such a dream, from Long John Silver and Captain Smollett to Jim Hawkins himself - the young hero. All month long: It is never too late to participate in the Massachusetts Center for the Book 2025 Reading Challenge. June's book is one that spans multiple generations. Suggestions include East of Eden by John Steinbeck, Homecoming by Yaa Gyasi or The House of Spirits by Isabel Allende. Stop by the Library for a postcard of each month's reading challenge and, of course, to search for the right book.
