James Room Kitchen

Join the Urbana Park District and The Urbana Free Library for this popular three-session book discussion that includes nature, food, and art activities.

Join us for conversation and more about The Midnight Library, a dazzling novel about all the choices that go into a life well lived, written by the internationally bestselling author, Matt Haig. 

"An uplifting, poignant novel about regret, hope and second chances" - author David Nicholls

The Midnight Library tells the story of a library between life and death where the shelves go on forever. Every book offers a chance to try another life you could have lived and shows how things would be if you had made other choices. Would you have done anything different if you had the chance to undo your regrets?

Participants request copies of the book through the library.  Multiple copies are available.  Registration is required.

  • October 3: Meet at Anita Purves Nature Center for a hike through beautiful Busey Woods and conversation about our first impressions of The Midnight Library.  
  • October 10: Meet at The Urbana Free Library for more discussion and a chance to explore the book's theme of life-changing choices through creative art activities. 
  • October 17: Meet at Phillips Recreation Center James Room Kitchen to make and share food inspired by The Midnight Library and to have our final book discussion.
