Celebrate Jane Austen’s 250th birthday by reading and discussing her novels. We’ll read one book each month until the big Jane Austen birthday festival in December!

Join us in discussing Jane Austen's fourth published novel, "Emma." Emma Woodhouse is clever, attractive and rich. However, her misguided attempts at matchmaking land her in hot water more than once. Let's discuss the wide variety of characters that "Emma" offers! 

Print copies of the book are available at our branches. Many eBooks are available on CloudLibrary, Libby or Hoopla; find eAudiobooks on Blackstone Unlimited, Libby, or Hoopla.
