About Me

An exciting program is now being offered at the Ballston Spa Public Library. Ballston Spa Reads is a way to get the local community to come together, read some great books and share viewpoints. Starting in January, we will have five books available to borrow from our library (these five books were chosen by the library patrons and staff members as books worthy of discussion). The books include: The Garden of Evening Mists, Me Before You, The Dirty Life, Cutting for Stone, and Unbroken. You do not have to read all five books in order to participate in our program. You can come in to borrow some of these great reads and vote once on your favorite book from January 2, 2013 – March 31, 2014. The winning book, chosen by the community, will be the subject of several library programs in the spring. The Ballston Spa Reads book will be announced on April 4, 2014! Comment under each book title below to get some book discussion started...

Unbroken

Unbroken
By Laura Hillenbrand

On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood.  Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared.  It was that of a young lieutenant, the plane's bombardier, who was struggling to a life raft and pulling himself aboard.  So began one of the most extraordinary odysseys of the Second World War.
