SALEM

Salem Public Library, 821 E. State St., will have its next Adult Book Discussion Group from 7 to 8 p.m. April 28 in the library’s Quaker Room.

The topic of discussion will be “Radiance of Tomorrow” by Ishmael Beah.

The story is set in the village of Imperi on the post-Civil-War country of Sierra Leone. Returning villagers including lifelong friends Benjamin and Bockarie hope to build their hometown into a new community, but the crime and brutality challenge their determination.

The book discussion is open to the public, and registration is not required. For copies of the book visit the library’s Adult Services Department.

The group meets the fourth Tuesday of each month. To learn more about upcoming library programs visit www.salem.lib.oh.us.
