Welcome to the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library

Express Book Group in a Bag titles were created for situations when a book group may need a book title immediately, without first making a reservation. Express Book Group in a Bag titles can be checked out from the Reference Desk at the library on a walk-in basis. Reservations are not required for these titles, and an available Express Book Group in a Bag title can be checked out promptly on a valid library card. Like our traditional Book Group in a Bag service, these titles check out for 6 weeks and must be returned to the Reference Desk.

When the Emperor was Divine

image
Julie Otsuka's commanding debut novel from 2002 paints a portrait of the Japanese internment camps unlike any we have ever seen. In five chapters, each flawlessly executed from a different point of view within a family, she has created a novel of unrelenting economy and suppressed emotion.

Year of Wonders

When an infected bolt of cloth carries plague from London to an isolated mountain village, a housemaid named Anna Frith emerges as an unlikely heroine and healer. Through Anna’s eyes we follow the story of the plague year, 1666. When villagers turn from prayers to murderous witch-hunting, Anna must confront the deaths of family, the disintegration of her community, and the lure of illicit love.
