The Friends of the Bonney Lake Library are encouraging people to join their Books on Tapps discussion group.

Books on Tapps meets the last Thursday of each month.

On March 28, the group will discuss science fiction comedy “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,” the first entry in Douglas Adams’ “trilogy in five parts.”

The story follows Earthling Arthur Dent and alien friend Ford Prefect on a universe-spanning journey in the wake of Earth’s destruction to make room for a hyperspace freeway. In their travels, they encounter Vogon poetry (the third worst in the universe), a clinically depressed robot, and the number 42.

A press release from the Pierce County Library System did not specify whether this month’s participants should bring a towel, but don’t panic: you should always bring a towel.

Next month, April 25, Books on Tapps will discuss this year’s selection for Pierce County READS, “The Paris Wife.”
