Why go

Readers gather monthly to talk through Patrick deWitt's quietly funny novel about a retired Oregon librarian who finds unexpected friendships. It is a free evening for readers who enjoy compassionate, quietly humorous fiction about ordinary lives.

About this event

The Librarianist by Patrick deWitt

November's selection is The librarianist by Patrick deWitt.

Bob Comet is a retired librarian, isolated but not lonely, spending his quiet days in a mint-colored house in Oregon, surrounded by books and small comforts. A simple act of kindness leads Bob to a nearby senior center, where he begins volunteering and finds himself forming unexpected friendships. When an encounter with someone from his past disrupts his peaceful routine, Bob begins to reflect on the events, loves, and choices that have shaped his life. It is a compassionate and quietly humorous celebration of literature, friendship, and the extraordinary within an ordinary life.
