Afternoon Book Discussion at the Powell Library

The Afternoon Book Discussion Group will be meeting at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, April 9th to discuss 'Cheaper by the Dozen' by Frank Gilbreth.
 

More about this nonfiction book:

What do you get when you put twelve lively kids together with a father—a famous efficiency expert—who believes families can run like factories, and a mother who is his partner in everything except discipline? You get a hilarious tale of growing up that has made generations of kids and adults alike laugh along with the Gilbreths in Cheaper by the Dozen.
 

Translated into more than fifty-three languages and made into a classic film starring Clifton Webb and Myrna Loy — and a remake featuring Steve Martin, Bonnie Hunt, Hilary Duff, and Alyson Stoner — this memoir is a delightfully enduring story of family life at the turn of the twentieth century.
