The Book Club Corner is the Library’s collection of
discussion-worthy titles in fiction, memoir and non-fiction available in
batches of 10 or so copies for use by book clubs. To help alleviate our current
difficulties with inter-library delivery service, this spring we are adding
several high-interest titles, including “The Muralist” by B.A. Shapiro, “Fates
and Furies” by Lauren Groff and “Circling the Sun” by Paula McLain.
We are pleased to announce that we have recently instituted
a Book Club Corner for children and families as well. Among the first batch of titles are “Because
of Winn-Dixie” and “Flora and Ulysses” by Kate DiCamillo, “Starry River of the
Sky” by Grace Lin, “El Deafo” by Cece Bell and Jamison Odone’s re-telling of
“Alice in Wonderland.” All have been
used to great effect in our Reading Is a Family Affair inter-generational
discussion series, and we recommend them for either children-only or parent and
child settings. Look for Children’s Book Club Corner selections in the Parent
Resource area of the Children’s Library.
Don’t hesitate to ask at the Children’s or Adult Service
Desk for assistance in making a selection for your book group and to reserve a
Book Club Corner title. Book Club Corner offerings are made possible by the
Friends of the Ridgefield Library.
