Library Events: Marywood Reads

Marywood Reads
May's book selection for Marywood Reads is The Martian by Jamie Weir. "... the crew of NASA's Ares 3 mission have arrived at Acidalia Planitia for a planned month-long stay on Mars. After only six sols, an intense dust and wind storm threatens to topple their Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV), trapping them on the planet. During the hurried evacuation, an antenna tears loose and impales astronaut Mark Watney, a botanist and engineer, also disabling his spacesuit radio. He is flung out of sight by the wind and presumed dead. As the MAV teeters dangerously, mission commander Melissa Lewis has no choice but to take off without searching for Watney. "(Wikipedia). Will Watney survive? Did you see the movie?
Join the group to discuss on Tuesday, May 21, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the Archives Reading Room, 2nd floor L.C.
