February Book Club

LCARSP Readers, the next book our book club is reading is "The Last Days of Night" by Graham Moore. This is a novel of historical fiction published in 2016. The story follows a young lawyer in New York City in 1888, as he attempts to discern who invented the light bulb: Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse, or Nikola Tesla.

If you would like to borrow a book, check one out at the First Christian Church (we are in the second door from the window). Discussion will be Feb. 27 at Halo and Wings.
