American Spaces Book Club - English book club at the Liivalaia Library.

Join the American Spaces Book Club’s November Read: The Giver by Lois LowryWhat would you give up to live in a world without pain, fear, or conflict? Would you give up color, music, or memory? This November, the American Spaces Book Club invites you to read Lois Lowry’s The Giver, a modern American classic that asks what we lose when we trade freedom for comfort. Jonas lives in a community that seems perfect. Every choice is made for its residents, from their jobs to their families. When Jonas is chosen to become the Receiver of Memory, he begins to learn the truths his community has hidden, and he must decide what he’s willing to risk for them. First published in 1993, The Giver has become one of the most widely read and discussed American novels of recent decades. It continues to spark debate about individuality, free choice, and the importance of remembering the past. Those themes resonate in any democracy, where people value the freedom to remember and to choose. Whether you’re revisiting The Giver or reading it for the first time, join us for an evening of thoughtful conversation with fellow readers.
