The Friends of the Council Grove Public Library will be offering the T.A.L.K. (Talk About Literature in Kansas) this Fall with the Voices of Appalachia series. The Community is invited to the free monthly book discussions @ 7:00 PM at the Library. Books are now available to check out.
Voices of Appalachia
Although Appalachian literature often explores themes unique to the Appalachian region, including economic and ecological plight, the voices and souls of these characters struggling to survive and make life worth living are deeply human and recognizable to all of us. The books in this series provide a cast of remarkable and memorable characters with human strength that endures and spirit that soars.

Oof! After solving the case of the Royal Rumpus, Olive Cobin Zang and her elite team of underdogs are on top of the world. As the awkward, crime-fighting Misfits, they’re acing every mission thrown at them from NOCK (aka No One Can Know, the covert agency they work for). But when their classmate Zeke starts receiving threatening notes, the Misfits are stumped. They’re no strangers to danger, but this case is a total head-scratcher.

Fourteen-year-old Taína just learned that she is a descendant of a long line of strong Taíno women, but will knowing this help her bring peace and justice to her family and community? But life takes a wild turn when her abuela tells her she is a direct descendant of Anacaona, the beloved Taíno leader, warrior, and poet, who was murdered by the Spanish in 1503. Abuela says that it's time for her to step into her power like the women who came before her.

In 1956, the only dolls on the market for little girls let them pretend to be mothers. Ruth’s vision for a doll shaped like a grown woman and outfitted in an enviable wardrobe will let them dream they can be anything. In the decades to come—through soaring heights and devastating personal lows, public scandals and private tensions— each of them will have to decide how tightly to hold on to their creation. Because Barbie has never been just a doll—she’s a legacy.
