Adult Book Discussion: The Bell Jar

The adult book discussion at Merlo takes on one of American literature's most unflinching novels this September. The group reads *The Bell Jar*, Sylvia Plath's autobiographical account of a young woman's breakdown — still sharp and unsettling more than sixty years after its pseudonymous publication. Copies are available at the 2nd Floor Reference Desk for anyone who wants to catch up before the meeting on Saturday, September 19, from 3 to 4 PM. The discussion is hybrid: attend in person at the Merlo Branch on Belmont or join via Zoom (one registration per household, with the link emailed about 24 hours ahead).
