The Geisel Library Book Group is an informal book club welcoming all students, faculty, staff, and monastic members of Saint Anselm College. We provide copies of the books we read through our print, ebook and audiobook (Overdrive/Libby) collections and from the NH State Library and other participating libraries for our attendees to borrow. Then we meet in the Library Reading Room or over Zoom to discuss the popular fiction and non-fiction titles.
For more information, contact Melinda Malik, Head of Collection Development.

"In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. As the death toll rose, the newly created FBI took up the case, and the young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to try to unravel the mystery. White put together an undercover team, including a Native American agent who infiltrated the region, and together with the Osage began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history" (GoodReads.com).
