Collinsville Library

Meeting Room

Read "The Antidote" by Karen Russell and join us for a lively discussion. For adults.

A severe dust storm devastates a Nebraska town already suffering due to the burdens of its dark past and the Great Depression. Narrated by a teen basketball star, a Polish farmer, a scarecrow, a prairie witch who keeps memories and a New Deal photographer with a time-bending camera, this buzzy latest by a Pulitzer finalist weds the supernatural to the historical.

Coffee and refreshments are provided.
