Alpine Public Library and others in the community will join together to read and discuss “The End of October,” Pulitzer Prize-winning author Lawrence Wright’s novel about a devastating pandemic. Individual and book clubs are invited to read and discuss the novel, and reflect on their own experiences and on health care resources in the area. The Big Bend is designated as a Health Professional Shortage Area by the federal government, and residents and providers in the area experience the challenges of this shortage.
