‘Hold Still’ memoir focus of library discussion

SEQUIM — The Second Saturday Book Discussion Group will meet at 3 p.m. Saturday to discuss Sally Mann’s “Hold Still: A Memoir with Photographs.”

The group meets Saturdays at the Sequim Library, 630 N. Sequim Ave.

To participate, read the book and attend the discussion; no reservations are needed and drop-ins are always welcome.

In this memoir, an interplay of narrative and image, Sally Mann’s abiding concerns — family, race, mortality, and the storied landscape of the American South — are revealed as almost genetically predetermined, written into her DNA by a colorful cast of characters who came before her, according to a news release.

Copies of “Hold Still” are available in various formats including regular print, large print, audiobook on CD and downloadable eBook, which may be requested online by visiting the library catalog at www.nols.org.

A limited number of copies of each book discussion selection are available at the Library the month prior to each meeting.

To view a complete list of the 2018 selections, visit www.nols.org/book- discussion-groups.

For more information about this and other programs for readers and book lovers, visit www.nols.org, email Discover@nols.org, or call 360-683-1161.
