Ernest Hemingway is definitely one of the greats in American literature. His works have been required reading for most of us at some time or other, and there's a good reason for that. Hemingway gets us thinking, talking, considering, and reconsidering. Now, the North Independence Branch has the honor of inviting you to rediscover Hemingway in the company of your peers! This might mean reexamining his writings with a more mature outlook, or it might mean making it through something you secretly never read in high school.
