Future programs at the Phoenixville Public Library – Daily Local

Books on tap

Books on Tap, the Phoenix Public Library’s book discussion group for 20s and 30s, will meet at the Great American Pub, 148 Bridge St., Phoenixville, on Tuesday, May 31, at 7 p.m. The group will discuss “Gideon the Ninth” award-winning bestseller Tamsin Muir. The emperor needs necromancers. The ninth necromancer needs a swordsman. Gideon, brought up by unfriendly, ancient servants and countless skeletons, is ready to give up serfdom and the afterlife as a resuscitated corpse. She packs her sword, shoes, dirty magazines and prepares to escape. But the enemy of childhood will not release her without demanding service. Copies of the book can be reserved at www.ccls.org. Copies of ebooks and audiobooks can be reserved at https://chester.overdrive.com. This event is free and open to the public. Food and drinks will be available for purchase.
