PM Book Club

Wednesday, November 8

7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Location: Shorewood Public Library Program Room

The PM Book Club is a great opportunity to talk about what you’ve read, learn something new, discover new books, and meet new friends. Join us this month as we discuss Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach.

For two thousand years, cadavers some willingly, some unwittingly have been involved in sciences boldest strides and weirdest undertakings. They've tested France's first guillotines, ridden the NASA Space Shuttle, been crucified in a Parisian laboratory to test the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, and helped solve the mystery of TWA Flight 800. For every new surgical procedure, from heart transplants to gender confirmation surgery, cadavers have helped make history in their quiet way.

Pick up a copy at the customer service desk or give us a call at 414 847-2670, and we would be happy to put one on hold for you!
