Our current online book club pick is Weather by Jenny Offill. NPR says this "darkly funny, urgent new novel from Jennifer Offill follows a librarian who gets involved in doomsday prepping." 

It may be obvious why our librarians picked this book. We think readers will appreciate how quick it is to read and how well it captures the essence of our society today. Here is how you can participate.
