Everyone's Reading ... Kiss Carlo
The library is participating in Everyone’s Reading, the one-book community reading program sponsored by several Metro Detroit public libraries in Oakland and Wayne counties. Everyone’s Reading promotes public dialogue through the shared experience of reading and discussing the same book with friends, neighbors, and other members of our community.
This year’s selection is Kiss Carlo by best-selling author Adriana Trigiani. Trigiani is the author of the very popular Big Stone Gap and Valentine series, along with other best-selling novels including Lucia, Lucia and The Shoemaker’s Wife. Kiss Carlo (2017) is the story of the Palazzinis, a boisterous Italian clan led by feuding brothers Dominic and Mike, set in post-WWII South Philadelphia. Trigiani uses themes from Shakespeare's plays to craft a world of engaging characters in this sprawling comedy/drama filled with romance, buried secrets, and mistaken identities.
PARTICIPATE by reading the book and joining the book discussions at the Library: Brown Bag Books will meet on Wednesday, 
March 27 at noon, and the Contemporary Books Group will meet on Tuesday, March 12 at 7:30 pm to discuss the book. No registration is needed. Copies of Kiss Carlo will be available at the Library.
MEET THE AUTHOR:
Adriana Trigiani will speak on Tuesday, April 2 at 7pm at Temple Beth El, 7500 Telegraph Rd, Bloomfield Township and Wednesday, April 3 at 7pm at Adat Shalom Synagogue, 29901 Middlebelt Rd, Farmington Hills. Tickets are free, but limited - stop in for your tickets now.
Read with us and enjoy the drama!

American Creed: Community Conversations
American Creed is a documentary that discusses what ideals shape the United States, and how to define our national identity through a set of unifying beliefs – an “American creed.” In the film, Condoleezza Rice and David Kennedy ask a diverse group of Americans what it means to be American, and whether an “American creed” can unite us.
The Plymouth District Library is thrilled to be a part of this project, which is funded by the American Library Association’s Office for Public Programming. We invite the community to participate in three events related to this important film:
