Join us for a discussion of The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride.
When a skeleton is unearthed in the small, close-knit community of Chicken Hill, Pennsylvania, in 1972, an unforgettable cast of Black and Jewish residents—long pushed to the margins—closes ranks to protect a secret, as the truth emerges about what happened and the role the town’s powerful establishment played in it.
Recommended for adults. Registration recommended.
Copies of the book are available at the Charles J. Fendig Library.

Renamed in 2001 after Charles J. Fendig, a long time Library Board member, the same building continues to serve as a library for the surrounding south Tampa community. The diverse collection, which includes books, magazines, newspapers, video and audio cassettes and compact discs, provides homework support and leisure interest materials for customers of all ages.
Staff members are available to provide circulation, reader's advisory, reference and programming services. Computers are available that provide office productivity capability to the public. An online public catalog, reference resources & public Internet access deliver information to the library's customers electronically, a technology no one dreamed of in 1960.
