The Short Stack Book Club

The Short Stack is a laid-back book club for those who love to read without the page count pressure. We will explore short stories, novellas, and bite-sized non-fiction—all around 200 pages. Perfect for busy schedules, short attention spans, or anyone who just wants to read more without the time commitment. 

This month we will be reading A Psalm For The Wild-Built by Becky Chambers.

"Centuries before, robots of Panga gained self-awareness, laid down their tools, wandered, en masse into the wilderness, never to be seen again. They faded into myth and urban legend.

Now the life of the tea monk who tells this story is upended by the arrival of a robot, there to honor the old promise of checking in. The robot cannot go back until the question of "what do people need?" is answered. But the answer to that question depends on who you ask, and how. They will need to ask it a lot. Chambers' series asks: in a world where people have what they want, does having more matter?" Goodreads.com

Copies of the book will be available at the Information Desk.
