Gather for fun book discussions, snacks, and friendly conversation. Copies of the book are available at the Electra C. Doren Library (701 Troy St., Dayton) for checkout. This month's book is A Time of Terror: The Great Dayton Flood by Allan W. Eckert. A thrilling minute-by-minute narrative historical account of the great disastrous flood that struck Dayton, Ohio, in March 1913. It chronicles the heroism, cowardice, terror, and despair of the individuals who underwent one of the great natural disasters in American history when the flooding waters of four streams -- the Great Miami River, the Mad River, the Stillwater River, and Wolf Creek -- all converged in the heart of downtown Dayton and submerged the city under 28 feet of raging waters. Nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in history. (341 pages)
