Beginning the idea of Movie Club with Momento...
It is still too difficult to understand....

What a session! On Saturday, July 4th, 2026, Butler Library's Novel Club came together to dive deep into George Orwell's 1984 — Big Brother. So many great perspectives shared. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and made the discussion so memorable. Grateful for a community that still loves getting lost in a good book together.
