Northern Ireland Book Discussion! – Things in Jars with Jess Kidd

The Woodstock Library in Belfast, Northern Ireland, has reached out to libraries in Woodstocks around the world – including NWPL! We are invited to a transatlantic book discussion (obviously via zoom) during NI Book Week in mid-October.

They have chosen the novel, Things in Jars by Jess Kidd, a story that taps darkness and light, history and folklore; a mystery that collapses the boundary between fact and fairy tale to stunning effect. You can learn a bit about it in this video. We’re excited that the author will sign on discuss the novel with book critic, John Self who writes for a number of publications.

Local folks can gather at the library and zoom into Northern Ireland as a group or you may participate from home. To sign in to join as an individual, register with NI Book Week HERE.
