While you wait for "The Calamity Club"...

If you're on the holds list for "The Calamity Club" by Kathryn Stockett, we invite you to check out other amazing reads available with your library card! Which one will you read next?

Rest assured, "The Calamity Club" IS worth the wait! According to our Library Director, Jeana, "Kathryn Stockett's sophomore novel has it all - interesting characters, a historically significant time period and just the right pacing to keep readers wanting more. Despite being over 650 pages, readers will not want it to end."
