Classics on the Rocks: Fahrenheit 451 In-Person

Join us for a classics & mocktails book club! Each month we’ll read and discuss a classic novel, and learn how to make a mocktail to go along with it. Collect your copy of this month's read from the front desk of our Statesville branch, or read the ebook with your Libby App.

All supplies are provided free of charge by Iredell Friends of the Library

Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury

Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television “family.” But when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn’t live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known.
