Hot and toasty! Fresh book club bags for your reading pleasure

Book Club - 34/365, by static416 on Flickr

We have 6 new book bag titles for you to check out! Grab them while you can, and enjoy them with your book club.

This is also a good time to let you know that the book club bags have moved. (What hasn’t in the last few months?) :) They are now in the southeast corner of the second floor, where the oversize books are.

Anyway, the new titles are (drumroll please):

The Glass Castle, by Jeannette Walls

(links to go the book club bags, not to the individual copies of these titles)

Honeymoon in Tehran, by Azadeh Moaveni
The Liars’ Club, by Mary Karr
The Mighty Queens of Freeville, by Amy Dickinson
The Sisters Antipodes, by Jane Alison
A Year by the Sea, by Joan Anderson

You may have noticed that all of these titles are memoirs. These book club sets were all purchased with funds from the Margaret Bell Frazier Endowment, which is to be used for (amongst other things) purchasing biographies of women for our collection. We thought using the funds for book club sets would be a great use of the money. This way, not only do people read about women’s lives, but then they discuss them as well, and hopefully learn more from that discussion.

To place holds on any of the book club bags, check out our instructions near the bottom of this previous post on book club bags. It’s just a little bit different than placing a hold on a regular book.
