Beekley Book Club: Demon Copperhead by Barbara KingsolverJoin us for this month’s Beekley Book Club as we discuss Demon Copperhead, the powerful, bestselling novel from acclaimed author Barbara Kingsolver: recipient of the National Book Foundation’s Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.
Set in the rugged mountains of southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead follows the unforgettable journey of a boy born into poverty and instability. With only his quick wit, striking red hair, and fierce will to survive, Demon faces the harsh realities of foster care, addiction, lost love, and a society that often overlooks the rural poor. Told in his raw, compelling voice, his story echoes the classic themes of Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield, reimagined for today’s America.
This richly layered novel speaks to resilience, injustice, and the enduring power of storytelling. You don’t need to be familiar with Dickens to be deeply moved by Demon’s journey—just bring an open heart and a love of thought-provoking literature.
📖 Reserve your copy through your patron account or call the library at 860-379-7235.📅 The Beekley Book Club meets on the third Tuesday of every month, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.📍 All readers are welcome, come for the book, stay for the conversation!
For any questions, reach out to Melanie Ollett at beekleydirector@biblio.org.

After Hours at the Beekley
On Pi Day 2021, 67-year-old Skip Fredericksen of New Hartford embarked on the journey of a lifetime: a 205-day thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, stretching from Amicalola Falls, Georgia to Mount Katahdin, Maine. Joined by his two daughters—trail names “Nocs” and “Zazu”—Skip, who became known on the trail as “Whitecap,” faced the physical and mental challenges of a long-distance hike as an older adventurer keeping pace with younger hikers.
In this engaging presentation, Skip shares the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of their 2,193-mile trek through a captivating slideshow, accompanied by original songs he wrote along the way. AT: The Musical is a light-hearted, honest reflection on life on the trail, filled with humor, heart, and hard-earned wisdom.
Since completing the Appalachian Trail, Skip has stayed deeply connected to the outdoors. He supports the AMC-CT Chapter through trail maintenance and boundary monitoring, and as of May 2024, he maintains the section from West Cornwall Road to Cesar Brook Campsite. A dedicated hiker, he also completed all 875+ miles of Connecticut’s blue-blazed trails between 2016 and 2023, earning recognition as one of only about 20 official “800-milers.”
Come be inspired, entertained, and maybe even motivated to take on your own adventure!

Beekley Book Club – Rites of Passage
Set sail with us this summer as we dive into a powerful and darkly compelling tale of life at sea. In Rites of Passage by William Golding, young Edmund Talbot chronicles his voyage to Australia in the early 19th century, writing with wit and sharp observation to entertain his godfather back home in England. But as tensions rise aboard the aging warship, the arrival of the awkward and overly pious Reverend Colley sparks a disturbing turn of events—one that reveals the cruel dynamics of shame, power, and isolation in the claustrophobic world below deck.
Pick up your July and August book club selections at the June meeting to enjoy plenty of time for reading over the summer!
Reserve your copy through your patron account or by calling the Beekley Library.
The Beekley Book Club meets on the third Tuesday of each month from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. New members are always welcome—come for the books, stay for the conversation!
