May’s book is by Tom Hanks! The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Show is a New York Times best seller and an NPR book of the Year. From the legendary actor and best-selling author comes a novel about the making of a star-studded, multimillion-dollar superhero action film ... and the humble comic books that inspired it. Funny, touching, and wonderfully thought-provoking, while also capturing the changes in America and American culture since World War II.

Bonus material: Interspersed throughout are three comic books that are featured in the story—all created by Tom Hanks himself—including the comic book that becomes the official tie-in to this novel’s "major motion picture masterpiece."

Book Club (@Horizon Center): “If You Lived Here, I’d Know Your Name”

Book Club (@Horizon Center): “If You Lived Here, I’d Know Your Name”

Join the Book Club @The Horizon Center on Thursday, Aug. 10, to discuss the Shelby County Reads Adult selection, “If You Lived Here, I’d Know Your Name” by Alaska State Writer Laureate Heather Lende. Meet at Shelby Senior Services in Suite 101, inside the YMCA, at 1 pm to discuss the books.

Tiny Haines, Alaska, is ninety miles north of Juneau, accessible mainly by water or air—and only when the weather is good. There's no traffic light and no mail delivery; people can vanish without a trace and funerals are a community affair. Heather Lende posts both the obituaries and the social column for her local newspaper. If anyone knows the going-on in this close-knit town—from births to weddings to funerals—she does.

Like Garrison Keillor's reports from the Midwest, NPR commentator Heather Lende's take on her offbeat Alaskan hometown celebrates life in a dangerous and breathtakingly beautiful place.

Contact Pam at the library, 317-398-7121, to have her deliver a book, or pick one up inside the library by the circulation desk.

Horizon Center Book Group: Horse

Join us at Shelby Senior Services in the Horizon Center as we discuss Horse by Geraldine Brooks.

A discarded painting in a junk pile, a skeleton in an attic, and the greatest racehorse in American history: from these strands, a Pulitzer Prize winner braids a sweeping story of spirit, obsession, and injustice across American history.
