Jewish American Fiction Book Club
Fairfax Library, 2097 Sir Francis Drake Blvd, Fairfax, CA | Get Directions »
FREE
Every other month we gather to discuss Jewish American fiction. We alternate between male and female authors as we examine the richness, the stress, the challenges, the warmth, and sometimes even the bawdiness of Jewish life in America. Everyone is welcome. For more information, please contact David Knepler, 415-488-0241, nuevodavos@yahoo.com or the Fairfax Library, 415-457-5629. The Book Club is sponsored by Gan Halev, the Jewish Congregation of the San Geronimo Valley; The Fairfax Library; and the Koret Taube Center for Jewish Peoplehood at the Osher Marin JCC. Books are often supplied by the Bureau of Jewish Education's Library.

More About Fairfax Library
The Fairfax Library, at the west end of town across from St. Rita's, is one branch of the Marin County Free Libraries. In addition to being connected to the other county-run libraries, such as the ones in West Marin, the Fairfax Library is connected to all other town libraries through a database. Library card-holders are able to reserve or check out books from any library in the county. The Fairfax Library also puts on a number of community and kid-focused events. There are reading clubs for adults and teens, as well as weekly children's groups. The library posts a blog on its website that keeps patrons up-to-date with the most current events. In addition, the library recently began a service, Overdrive, which allows card-holders to download books and audio on their computers.
