Book Discussion Group

Wednesday, April 2, 2025 - 4:00pm


Event announcement featuring a stack of books, reading glasses, and the cover of the book "Love & Whiskey."

The April selection is Love & WhiskeyThe Remarkable True Story of Jack Daniel, His Master Distiller Nearest Green, and the Improbable Rise of Uncle Nearest by Fawn Weaver. 

Through extensive research, personal interviews, and the uncovering of long-buried documents, Weaver brings to light not only the remarkable bond between Nearest Green and Jack Daniel but also Daniel’s concerted efforts during his lifetime to ensure Green’s legacy would not be forgotten. This deep respect for his teacher, mentor, and friend was mirrored in Jack's dedication to ensuring that the stories and achievements of Nearest Green's descendants, who continued the tradition of working side by side with Jack and his descendants, would also not be forgotten.

Pick up a copy at the front desk or drive-thru. The group meets the first Wednesday of each month. New members always welcome. For ages 18+.
