Library Book Group Meeting. Please join the library staff in a discussion of Growing Up by Russell Baker. Russell Baker is the 1979 Pulitzer Prize winner for Distinguished Commentary and a columnist for The New York Times. This book traces his youth in the mountains of rural Virginia. "He draws from a time and a world very much in the American grain: memories of listening to grown-ups rocking on the porch and sonorously reciting cliches or of Depression evenings in Baltimore spent around the kitchen table with endless talk and cups of coffee." -- New York Times Readers may bring their own copy or place a hold on a library item. Refreshments will be served.	Tuesday, January 20 at 6:30 PM
