The Evening Book Club tackles Gail Honeyman’s “Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine” on Tuesday, July 21, from 7 to 8 p.m. in the F.M. Kirby Gallery at Morristown Library.

The club is open to everyone, Morris Township resident or not, and you’re welcome even if you didn’t finish the book. Copies are waiting at the main circulation desk. Questions?
