Volusia County Public Library has partnered with PBC Guru and Freading to create a virtual book club for patrons and the community.
The book for October - November is Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury.
Ray Bradbury's moving recollection of a vanished golden era remains one of his most enchanting novels. Dandelion Wine stands out in the Bradbury literary canon as the author's most deeply personal work, a semi-autobiographical recollection of a magical small-town summer in 1928.
It's always available for download from Freading.
