Program Description
Details
Join us on December 1, 2025 for coffee, donuts and discussion of "Good night, Irene" by Luis Alberto Urrea.
In this novel, Urrea pays moving tribute to his mother and her clubmobile comrades whose wartime service was largely forgotten because, even though they sometimes served under fire, they also served donuts and refreshments.
Learn about the history of the Red Cross during WWI and WWII and about Donut Dollies, the popular term for Red Cross women who volunteered to work overseas in mobile service clubs called clubmobiles.
Book club books in regular print and large print are available for check-out at the Central Library. Call 757-385-0150 if you would like to pick up your copy at another location. Adults. Registration required.
