      ORCHARD PARK LIBRARY'S OFFICIAL BOOK CLUB

      Wednesday, April 2nd from 6:00-7:00 PM 

      "Implosion" by Elizabeth W. Garner

      "What could be cooler, thinks  teen Elizabeth Garber in 1965, than to live in a glass house designed by her architect dad? Ever since childhood, she's adored everything he loves -- his XKE Jaguar, modern art, and his Eames black leather chair -- and she's been inspired by his passionate intensity as he teaches her about modern architecture. When Woodie receives a commission to design a high-rise dormitory -- a tower of glass -- for the University of Cincinnati, Elizabeth, her mother and brothers celebrate with him. But less than twenty years later, Sander Hall, the mirror-glass dormitory, will be dynamited into rubble."
