Join Oakland Library for its book club geared towards readers of fantasy, sci-fi, and adventure! The discussion this month will be on "Hazards of Time Travel" by Joyce Carol Oates on Monday, February 12, 2023, at the Oakland Library from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Please register at the Oakland Library or contact Andrew Miller at andrew@relib.net for more information. “Time travel” — and its hazards—are made literal in this astonishing new novel in which a recklessly idealistic girl dares to test the perimeters of her tightly controlled (future) world and is punished by being sent back in time to a region of North America — “Wainscotia, Wisconsin”—that existed eighty years before. Cast adrift in time in this idyllic Midwestern town she is set upon a course of “rehabilitation”—but cannot resist falling in love with a fellow exile and questioning the constrains of the Wainscotia world with results that are both devastating and liberating."
