Book Programs Announced for Gaithersburg Library

For Immediate Release: Tuesday, January 23, 2001

A wide variety of book-related programs will be featured during February at the Gaithersburg Library. All program will begin at 7 p.m.

On February 7, local author Gretchen Cook-Anderson will discuss her political thriller "Those Who Trespass Against Us," which focuses on race relations, politics, greed and corruption in Washington, DC. The program is sponsored by the Xi Sigma Omega chapter of the Alpha Kappa Sorority.

On February 8, the general book discussion group will read "Ravelstein" by Saul Bellow, a novel loosely based on the life of Allen Bloom, author of "The Closing of the American Mind." The work concludes that higher education caters to women, minorities and trendy ideas rather than great books and timeless issues.

On February 14, the mystery book group will discuss "Final Jeopardy" by Linda Fairstein. The novel's central character is New York Assistant District Attorney Alexandra Cooper who reads about her own death in the newspaper and realizes that she was the intended victim of the killer who murdered her house guest.

On February 28, the Spanish/English book group will discuss "La Pasion Segun Eva," Abel Posse's novel about Argentina's former First Lady Eva Peron.

The library is located at 18330 Montgomery Village Avenue. For more information, call 301-840-2515.
