Held captive for years in an enclosed space, a woman and her young son finally gain their freedom, allowing the boy to experience the outside world for the first time. Told entirely in the language of the energetic, pragmatic five-year-old Jack, Room is a celebration of resilience and the limitless bond between parent and child, a brilliantly executed novel about what it means to journey from one world to another. The 2015 screen adaptation garnered many rewards including the 2016 Best Actress Oscar which went to Brie Larson for her role as the mother.

The discussion group centers on books that were made into movies. 

Adult patrons are invited to read the book, listen to the book or

 watch the movie and join us for a lively discussion on the 

First Thursday of every month. 

 Come to the library and enjoy refreshments and

a chance to meet with fellow book lovers.

Pre-register at the desk, emailing connieg@mercerlibrary.org
