We’ve brought back the popular Battle of the Books for our Summer Reading Program this year.
The two contenders are “A Walk in the Woods” by Bill Bryson and “Little Fires Everywhere” by Celeste Ng.
These two heavyweights battle it out inside the ring of your mind. Read one. Read both. Tell us which you like better.
When you check out one of these titles or attend a book discussion or related movie, you’ll be entered to win a “Battle of the Books” prize from the Friends of the Library.
We’ll be showing “Walk in the Woods” June 28 at 2 p.m., at the main library in Abingdon. We’ll serve “trail food.” The movie is rated “R” and contains some adult language.
A “Little Fires Everywhere” book discussion is July 9 at 2 p.m. at the main library.

About the Movie:
In this new comedy adventure, celebrated travel writer, Bill Bryson, instead of retiring to enjoy his loving and beautiful wife, and large and happy family, challenges himself to hike the Appalachian Trail – 2,200 miles of America’s most unspoiled, spectacular and rugged countryside from Georgia to Maine. The peace and tranquility he hopes to find, though, is anything but, once he agrees to being accompanied by the only person he can find willing to join him on the trek – his long lost and former friend Katz, a down-on-his-luck serial philanderer who, after a lifetime of relying on his charm and wits to keep one step ahead of the law – sees the trip as a way to sneak out of paying some debts and sneak into one last adventure before its too late. The trouble is, the two have a completely different definition of the word, “adventure”. Now they’re about to find out that when you push yourself to the edge, the real fun begins.
