We will be discussing "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" by John Boyne. Copies of this month's book can be picked up from the West Indianapolis Branch. Adults are invited to this free monthly book discussion program. We meet on the second Monday of the month.
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is available as a print book, an eBook, a downloadable audiobook, an audiobook CD, in Large Print, and a book club kit in the Library's collection.
"Bored and lonely after his family moves from Berlin to a place called 'Out-With' in 1942, Bruno, the son of a Nazi officer, befriends a boy in striped pajamas who lives behind a wire fence."
The first West Indianapolis Branch opened in 1897, following the annexation of West Indianapolis into the city of Indianapolis. A new building on West Morris Street, constructed with funds from a $120,000 grant by the Andrew Carnegie Foundation, opened in 1912 and served the community until 1986, when the current 5,000-square-foot branch began service on South Kappes Street.
