What if you could explore the infinite possibilities of your life? Matt Haig’s The Midnight Library follows Nora Seed, a woman stuck in despair, who discovers a magical library between life and death. Each book on its shelves offers her a chance to live a different version of her life—pursuing paths she abandoned, choices she regretted, or dreams she never dared to chase. As Nora navigates these lives, she learns profound lessons about regret, resilience, and the meaning of happiness. With its heartfelt exploration of "what-ifs," this novel is a thought-provoking and uplifting choice for a memorable book club discussion.
Limited library copies of this book have been set aside for this program. Please indicate when registering if you will need a copy.
