Please join us for an online Zoom discussion of : Sooley by John Grisham
from Amazon…”In the summer of his seventeenth year, Samuel Sooleymon gets the chance of a lifetime: a trip to the United States with his South Sudanese teammates to play in a showcase basketball tournament. He has never been away from home, nor has he ever been on an airplane. The opportunity to be scouted by dozens of college coaches is a dream come true.”
The Waianae Public Library Book Club reads a variety of fiction and nonfiction titles selected yearly by the members. We meet on the 3rd Wednesdays online via Zoom at 6:00pm- 7:30pm. If you are interested in joining, please contact Sheryl Lynch at the library 808-697-7868 or email
