Nonfiction Book Group – Join the Conversation!

Looking for a thoughtful morning discussion and a great nonfiction read? Join us at the Bridgton Public Library for our monthly Nonfiction Book Group. Wednesday, March 11 from 10:00–11:00 AM. 

This month we’ll be discussing A Day in the Life of Abed Salama by Nathan Thrall, a powerful and deeply human story that follows a father searching for his son after a tragic bus accident outside Jerusalem. Through one family’s experience, the book explores the complexities of life in Israel and the Palestinian territories, weaving personal stories with the broader realities of the region.

Our Nonfiction Book Group is open to all readers—whether you’ve read every page or are just curious about the topic. It’s a welcoming space to share perspectives, learn from others, and discover new ideas through great nonfiction.

Copies of the book may be available at the library—ask at the circulation desk for more information.

We hope you’ll join us for an engaging conversation and lively discussion.
