Book Discussion featuring The Measure by Nikki Erlick

St. Marys Community Public Library is featuring The Measure by New York Times bestselling author Nikki Erlick for discussion on Thursday, July 11^th, 2024. The discussion will be in the library meeting room from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Eight ordinary people. One extraordinary choice.

It seems like any other day. You wake up, get ready, and head out.

But today, when you open your front door, waiting for you is a small box, holding the answer to the number of years you will live.

Suddenly, everyone on earth is faced with the same choice: Do they wish to know how long they’ll live? And, if so, what will they do with that knowledge?

As society comes together and pulls apart, The Measure charts the dawn of this new world through an unforgettable cast of characters whose paths interweave with one another: best friends whose dreams are forever entwined, pen pals finding refuge in the unknown, a couple who thought they didn’t have to rush, a doctor who cannot save himself, and a politician whose box becomes the powder keg that changes everything.

The Measure is a sweeping, ambitious, uplifting story about family, love, hope, and destiny that encourages us to live life to the fullest.

Check out a copy of The Measure at the library to read before the discussion.
