when people throughout Nassau and Suffolk
counties read the same book. Patrons from seven
public libraries on the North Shore — Bayville,
Bryant (Roslyn), Glen Cove, Gold Coast, Locust
Valley, Oyster Bay-East Norwich, and Sea Cliff —
are meeting this year at The Metropolitan in Glen
Cove to enjoy delicious desserts; the wit and wisdom
of moderator John Canning, Director of the Town of
Oyster Bay’s Department of
Intergovernmental Affairs; and a great
book discussion, led by Sarah Siegal.
There’s a free raffle for an eReader, too.
This year’s selection is The Lost Wife
by Alyson Richman. Reserve a copy,
available in print, audiobook, or
