Books For Breakfast: West with Giraffes

Books for Breakfast meets on the 3rd Tuesday every month at 9:30 am. 

We are currently meeting by both Zoom and In Person. Please indicate which way you plan to attend!

In June 2024 we will discuss West With Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge. It is 1938, and world-weary Americans find inspiration in two giraffes who miraculously survive a hurricane while crossing the Atlantic. What follows is a twelve-day road trip in a custom truck to deliver Southern California's first giraffes to the San Diego Zoo. Behind the wheel is the young Dust Bowl rowdy, Woodrow Wilson Nickel. Inspired by true events, the book involves the grace of animals, the kindness of strangers, the passing of time, and a story told before it's too late.

For people who attend the group regularly, a hold will be placed for you each month in time for the next month's book to arrive by our meeting date. If you are not a regular attender, please place a hold yourself or contact the library to place the hold for you.
