On Thursday, September 16, YHPL will host a discussion of Molokai, by Alan Brennert at 6:30 PM. The discussion will take place in the library basement.

Molokai is the story of a young Hawaiian girl who contracts leprosy and is deported to the leper colony on the island of Molokai. Despite the macabre subject matter, the book has been praised for its deft handling of its protagonist’s struggle against the limitations of her disease.
