Special speaker and book discussion

The Library is again participating in the South Dakota Humanities Council’s One Book South Dakota. This year’s book is What is the What by David Eggers. This is a fictionalized memoir of one of the “Lost Boys of Sudan”, a group of young men who were orphaned during the Second Sudanese War (1983-2005) and traveled many miles through terrible conditions to reach refugee camps outside their country.   Our discussion of the book will be on Tuesday, August 17 at 6:30. We have numerous copies of the book to check out so read it, so get a copy and join us on the 17th.


And we have a special guest speaking at the library on August 19 at 7:00. Moses Joknhial, one of the “Lost Boys of Sudan”, will talk about his life, experiences and his hopes for his country. The book above is not written specifically about his life, but he has had similiar experiences. So mark your calendar for this program.
