Third Tuesday Book Club

Join us for a discussion of The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson.

After a long and eventful life, Allan Karlsson ends up in a nursing home, believing it to be his last stop. The only problem is that he’s still in good health. A big celebration is in the works for his 100th birthday, but Allan really isn’t interested (and he’d like a bit more control over his alcohol consumption), so he decides to escape. He climbs out the window in his slippers and embarks on a hilarious and entirely unexpected journey.

Copies will be available for checkout at the adult circulation desk.  No sign up is required.  Refreshments will be served.
