The Family Place logo. It is a circular image. In the center of the circle, there is a tree with green bark and yellow, green, orange, and red leaves. Two of the tree's branches form a heart in the center of the image. Within that heart is two brown stick figures, a parent and child, sitting and facing each other. There is a bright green border around this illustration. There is brown text along the top half of the border that says "Family Place Libraries (TM)."

The Bookies – Tuesday, 9/16 at 6:00pm, In-person and on Zoom

The cover of the book "Our Missing Hearts" by Celeste Ng. Its background is a blue gradient, with the lightest blue on the left. The gradient fades into darker blue as it progresses toward the right side of the cover. The title of the book, "Our Missing Hearts," is in big white text in a sans-serif font at the center of the cover. Centered on top of that text is a feather that looks almost as if the top third has been torn off. Small birds are flying out of the torn part of the feather. Above these central elements is the author's name, Celeste Ng, in large black text. In smaller text above that, it says "#1 New York Times bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere." Toward the left side of the cover, there is a circular image that is a yellow circle with a white ring around it. Within the outer white ring, it says "Reese's Book Club" in black text. At the bottom left of the cover image, it says "A Novel" in black text that resembles print handwriting.

The Bookies is Goodwin Library’s book club! Join us in September to discuss Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng. We always have multiple copies of the book available for checkout—just stop by to pick one up! New members are always welcome. This program can be attended in person or on Zoom.
