Our next Lapham reads: West with Giraffes
Thursday, November 9, 1 pm, free

Join us for a discussion of this great read. Inspired by the incredible true story of two giraffes who made headlines and won the hearts of Depression-era America as they traveled by truck across America to reach the San Diego Zoo. Part adventure, part historical saga, and part coming-of-age love story, West with Giraffes explores what it means to be changed by the grace of animals, the kindness of strangers, the passing of time, and a story told before it’s too late. Copies available at New Canaan Library.
