Join us 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 23, to discuss July's book! We'll be discussing "West with Giraffes" by Lynda Rutledge. This book is available through the Livonia Public Library.

West with Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge is a historical fiction novel inspired by a true story. It follows a young man during the Great Depression who finds unexpected purpose when he's tasked with transporting two giraffes across the United States. Along the way, he encounters a cast of unforgettable characters and confronts his own troubled past. The novel explores themes of hope, resilience, and the bond between humans and animals, all set against the backdrop of 1930s America.
