Books on Tap, Phoenixville Public Library’s book discussion group for adults in their 20s and 30s, will meet next on Tuesday, Aug. 27, 7:00 PM at The Foodery, 325 Bridge Street, Phoenixville. The group will discuss Erin Morgenstern’s The Night Circus. The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simple there. Within the striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. Le Cirque des Reves is open only at night. Behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway--a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have trained since childhood expressly for
this purpose by their mercurial instructors. This is a game in which only one is left standing, unbeknownst to them. But Celia and Marco fall headfirst into love. The game plays out, with everyone’s fates in the balance. A New York Times Bestseller. A copy of the book may be reserved at the Library or online at www.ccls.org. The event is free and open to the public. Food and beverages will be available for purchase. For more information, e-mail Christine Shaffer at shaffer.m.christine@ gmail.com.
