Fremont Book Club to Discuss “West With Giraffes” November 13

The Neuschafer Community Library’s November Book Club pick takes readers on a journey unlike any other.

This month’s featured novel, West With Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge, is a moving story inspired by true events. Set during the Great Depression, it follows two giraffes who survive a hurricane at sea and embark on a cross-country adventure to the San Diego Zoo. Through the eyes of a young man driving the truck and the aging zookeeper beside him, readers experience a tale of resilience, compassion, and the quiet magic of the connection between humans and animals.

The Fremont Book Club will meet on Wednesday, November 13 at 6 p.m. at the Neuschafer Community Library. Copies of the book are available now for checkout, and attendees are welcome to bring book-inspired snacks or drinks to share.

To register or cancel, call (920) 446-2474.

This gathering offers a great opportunity for local readers to enjoy discussion, community, and a story that celebrates perseverance and hope.
