SUMMARY:Science Fiction Book Group
DESCRIPTION:Introducing the Howe Library Science Fiction Book 
 Group!\n\nEmbark on a journey through the cosmos of imagination with our 
 monthly science fiction book group! Join us every 3rd Thursday of the month 
 for an exploration of distant worlds\, futuristic technologies\, and 
 mind-bending concepts. Whether you're a seasoned sci-fi enthusiast or a 
 curious newcomer\, all are welcome to dive into the vast universe of 
 speculative fiction.\n\nBook Selection:\nFrom classic works that have 
 shaped the genre to the latest groundbreaking releases\, our selections 
 promise to spark your imagination and fuel thought-provoking 
 discussions.\n\nMeetings:\nDate: 3rd Thursday of each month\nTime: 
 6pm-7pm\nLocation: Aldrich Room\, Howe Library\nThis book discussion 
 program is HYBRID. We will meet in the Aldrich Room\, but you may also 
 attend via Zoom. Email Tessa at tessa.johnson@thehowe.org for an invitation 
 or more information.\n\nThis month's book is Fractal Noise\, by Christopher 
 Paolini\n\nSet twenty-three years before the events in To Sleep in a Sea of 
 Stars\, Fractal Noise is a sci-fi thriller that tells the story of 
 humanity’s first discovery of alien intelligence.\n\nA stellar survey 
 team in the mid-2030s discovers an anomaly on a seemingly uninhabited 
 planet. A pit 50 kilometer wide and most certainly not of natural origin. 
 How did it get there? And who\, or what\, built it? A small team must land 
 and journey on foot across alien terrain to find out. Each step they take 
 toward the mysterious abyss is more punishing than the last. And the ghosts 
 of their past follow.\n\nWhat to Expect:\n\n\n	Engaging Discussions: Share 
 your thoughts\, theories\, and questions with fellow spacefarers as we 
 dissect the chosen book.\n	Diverse Perspectives: Our group welcomes readers 
 of all backgrounds and experiences\, ensuring a rich tapestry of 
 viewpoints.\n	Community Building: Connect with like-minded individuals who 
 share your passion for the extraordinary realms of science fiction.\n	 
 \n\n\nWho Can Attend:\nThis Science Fiction Book Group is open to everyone! 
 Whether you're a library regular\, a casual reader\, or someone who just 
 discovered the wonders of sci-fi\, you're invited to join our cosmic 
 rendezvous.\n\nBooks can be checked out by any Upper Valley resident\, 
 regardless of library membership. \n\nMark your calendars\, set your 
 coordinates\, and prepare for an odyssey of literary discovery! The future 
 awaits\, and we can't wait to explore it together in the pages of 
 captivating science fiction. See you at the next meeting!\n\nJoin Meeting:
