About the event

In June the SciFi & Fantasy Book Club prepares for Summer Reading 2026 with Michael Crichton's classic dinosaur thriller Jurassic Park. Copies are available from the library in a variety of formats.

From the publisher:

"An astonishing technique for recovering and cloning dinosaur DNA has been discovered. Now humankind’s most thrilling fantasies have come true. Creatures extinct for eons roam Jurassic Park with their awesome presence and profound mystery, and all the world can visit them - for a price.

Until something goes wrong...

In Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton taps all his mesmerizing talent and scientific brilliance to create his most electrifying technothriller."
