Former U.S. Congressman Steve Israel visited Project Independence’s book club on Dec. 14 to discuss “Big Guns,” his novel about the firearms industry, politics in Washington and a small town on Long Island.
North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth also joined the group for the discussion. Israel talked about the book and took questions about the novel.
The Project Independence book club first started in 2014; today it encompasses people from New Hyde Park, Mineola, Williston Park, Port Washington and Westbury.
North Hempstead’s senior book club meets monthly at Clinton G. Martin Park in New Hyde Park. To participate, call 311 or 516-869-6311.
