Curious to see what the current book club read is?

July's discussion for the Lewisville's Book Club will cover the book "Where I Come From: Stories from the Deep South" by Rick Bragg.

Next Meeting: July 9, 2026 at 1 p.m.

Summary:
From the best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of All Over but the Shoutin' and The Best Cook in the World, a collection of irresistible columns from Southern Living and Garden & Gun

Celebrated author and newspaper columnist Rick Bragg brings us an ode to the stories and history of the Deep South, filled with “eclectic nuggets about places and people he knows well” ( USA Today ) and written with honesty, wit, and deep affection.

A collection of wide-ranging and endearingly personal columns—from Bragg’s love of Tupperware (his mother preferred margarine tubs and thought Tupperware was “just showing off”) to the decline of country music, from the legacy of Harper Lee to the metamorphosis of the pickup truck to the best way to kill fire ants —Where I Come From is a book that will be treasured by fans old and new.

If you are interested in joining the Lewisville Book Club, you should stop by the Lewisville library’s circulation desk or call the Lewisville library at 803-789-7800 for more information.

Curious to see what the current book club read is?

July's Book Club pick for the Chester Main Library Book Club is "Summer Seekers" by Sarah Morgan.

Next Meeting: July 21, 2026 at 11 a.m.

Summary:
Kathleen is eighty years old. After she has a run-in with an intruder, her daughter wants her to move in to a residential home. But she’s not having any of it. What she craves—what she needs—is adventure.

Liza is drowning under the daily stress of family life. The last thing she needs is her mother jetting off on a wild holiday, making Liza long for a solo summer of her own.

Martha is having a quarter-life crisis. Unemployed, unloved and uninspired, she just can’t get her life together. But she knows something has to change.

When Martha sees Kathleen’s advertisement for a driver and companion to share an epic road trip across America, she decides this job might be the answer to her prayers. She’s not the world’s best driver, but anything has to be better than living with her parents. And traveling with a stranger? No problem. Anyway, how much trouble can one eighty-year-old woman be?

As these women embark on the journey of a lifetime, they all discover it’s never too late to start over.
