Book Club to meet Tuesday

The next Ellis Memorial Library Book Club discussion group will meet Tuesday, Feb. 9. The club, open to the public, meets monthly at 6:30 p.m. in the library, 710 W. Ave. A.

The book to be discussed is “Fahrenheit 451,” by Ray Bradbury.

A synopsis of the book follows.

In a disturbing and poetic, Bradbury takes the materials of pulp fiction and transforms them into a visionary parable of a society gone awry, in which firemen burn books and the state suppresses learning. Meanwhile, the citizenry sits by indifferent.
