Beginning on Friday, June 27th, registrants can come to the library to pick up their copy of The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. The book discussion will be on Thursday, July 24th at 3:30pm. Readers that participated in the The Book Thief book discussion will receive priority registration and will receive a copy of the book at the discussion.

Nobody Owens, known as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn’t live in a graveyard, being raised by ghosts, with a guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor the dead. There are adventures in the graveyard for a boy—an ancient Indigo Man, a gateway to the abandoned city of ghouls, the strange and terrible Sleer. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, he will be in danger from the man Jack—who has already killed Bod’s family.
