Asheboro library introduces ‘Men In Black’ sci-fi book club

The Asheboro Public Library’s Men In Black Sci-Fi/Fantasy Book club is ready to go where no book club has gone before.

Submitted for your approval: library staff members Dave Bare and George Taylor will launch a book club that caters to the Martian, Hobbit, space explorer, zombie, adventurer and wizard in all of us.

The discussion group will meet at noon on the third Thursday of each month at the Asheboro Public Library, 201 Worth Street in Asheboro, with its first meeting on January 19. The club is free and open to anyone; participants are welcome to bring a lunch.

The first book up for consideration is World War Z by Max Brooks, a tale about a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a zombie plague in which the intrepid narrator interviews people from around the world about their experiences during the zombie war.

Copies of the book are available for checkout and an ebook is available from the Digital Depot (via randquest.org).

At the first meeting, participants will plan titles for the rest of the year. For more information, call 318-6814.
