Wednesday, September 5, 7pm.
Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea by Guy Delisle
Delisle became one of the few Westerners to be allowed access to the fortress-like country when he was working in animation for a French company. While living in the nation’s capital for two months on a work visa, Delisle observed everything he was allowed to see of the culture and lives of the few North Koreans he encountered, bringing a sardonic and skeptical perspective on a place rife with propaganda. Pick up books at the Ashburn Information Desk. Sponsored by the Friends of the Ashburn Library.
For adults.

Tuesday, September 4, 7 p.m. for a discussion of "Britt-Marie Was Here" by Fredrik Backman (author of A Man Called Ove).
"Britt-Marie is a socially awkward, fussy busybody who is used to being organized. When she walks out on her cheating husband and gets a job as caretaker of the dilapidated recreation center in Borg, she is woefully unprepared for the changes. But as she takes on the task of leading the supremely untalented children's soccer team to victory, she just might find a place she belongs." For adults.
