Join us at the Granville Center for the Arts for our next Literary & Reading Club on July 13 at 1:00 pm! We'll dive into "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" by Betty Smith—a timeless coming-of-age classic that follows young Francie Nolan as she grows up in the tenements of early 1900s Brooklyn. Through her eyes, we'll experience the beauty, heartbreak, and quiet strength of a family navigating poverty, resilience, and the pursuit of dreams. This rich, character-driven novel offers plenty to discuss—from the power of education and imagination to the ways hope can grow in the most unlikely places. Whether you're reading it for the first time or returning to an old favorite, this conversation promises warmth, nostalgia, and meaningful reflection. Come and enjoy the lively discussion, complete with snacks and refreshments. We encourage you to read the book before our meetup, but it's not required. Need a copy of the book? Pick up your copy at the Readers' Garden Bookstore at 115 N Prospect St, Granville, OH 43023.
