 The American Library Association (ALA) is starting their huge, annual conference and exhibition later this week, and so it's an exciting time to show you a sampling of libraries across the U.S. who are discussing Edward Kelsey Moore's The Supremes At Earl's All-You-Can-Eat -- today, and in upcoming weeks. Since the book was first published, readers in cities and towns large and small have been gathering with their clubs for lively discussions about the novel. This is not a complete list of all book club gatherings -- there are many, many private book clubs who don't list their meetings on the internet (their members often write to this website after an event and describe the fun they had while talking about Odette and her friends), but here is a list and internet links for some public library book club meetings for The Supremes at Earl's in the next few weeks:
