B.Y.O.Book, the Iowa City Public Library’s first-ever Books in Bars Book Club meetup, will be held from 7 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, March 18, at Sanctuary Pub, 405 S Gilbert St.
Join librarians Jason Paulios and Candice Smith as they discuss Hilary Mantel's "Wolf Hall.” This Booker Prize-winning novel is the re-imagining of life under Henry VIII, as seen through the eyes of his chief minister, Thomas Cromwell.
There also will be a short beer primer, courtesy of Sanctuary staff.
Can’t make it on March 18? The second B.Y.O.Book meetup will be held from 7 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 15, at Brix Cheese Shop & Wine Bar, 209 N. Linn St. Featuring Michael Paterniti’s “The Telling Room: A Tale of Love, Betrayal, Revenge, and the World’s Greatest Piece of Cheese,” this piece of literary non-fiction was named one of the Best Books of 2013 by National Public Radio.
The third and final B.Y.O.Book meetup will be held from 7 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, May 13, at Motley Cow Café, 160 N. Linn St. This meeting will feature Raymond Chandler’s classic story of seduction and murder, “The Big Sleep.”
