Morning Book Club: West with Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge In-Person

Woodrow Wilson Nickel, age 105, feels his life slipping away. Learning giraffes face extinction, he recalls an unforgettable journey. In 1938, with the Depression lingering and Hitler looming, Americans long for wonder. They find it in two giraffes who survive a hurricane at sea, then embark on a twelve-day road trip to the San Diego Zoo. Behind the wheel is young Dust Bowl rowdy Woodrow. Inspired by true events, the tale blends real and fictional figures in a story of resilience and hope. Librarian Neil will lead the discussion.
