Join Short Stack, a book club for readers who want big ideas in bite-sized books under 200 pages. 

Books for Short Stack will be available at the circulation desk 3 weeks before the group meets. 

This month's selection is She came to slay : the life and times of Harriet Tubman by Erica Armstrong Dunbar

"Dunbar employs an uplifting, accessible, thoroughly modern tone throughout,  resulting in an engaging biography that will leave even the least historically inclined readers in awe" Booklist
