The Peterborough Town Library Book Club announced plans to read Booker Prize finalist “Great Circle” by Maggie Shipstead.

After several months’ recess, the book club will reconvene with monthly meetings on the last Friday of each month. “Great Circle” is a New York Times bestseller and Read with Jenna Book Club pick. It is a story about an adventurous aviator and her dream to fly over the North and South poles. A century later, an actor is cast to play the aviator, and the author intertwines the destinies of both characters and their similar hunger for self-determination in two vastly different places and times. 

Books are available to PTL cardholders at the upper help desk. The book discussion is free and open to the public and will take place on Friday, April 26, at 11 a.m.
