     Hi friends --

     

    We are looking forward to seeing you at our next LHRT Reads book discussion. For the month of August, we are discussing The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray. We are meeting on Thursday, August 18th, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern time.

     

    Register in advance for this meeting:
    https://nyu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcqduGurjwtHNcCRrNBdbCe8bSAEI9MKPTI

     

    Please read The Personal Librarian before our meeting. Bring at least one question you'd like to discuss with other group members. 

     

    We'll begin at 7 p.m. sharp, Eastern time. Depending on the number of attendees, we may assign everyone to a breakout room. We have plenty of discussion questions for a thought-provoking conversation.

    http://www.ala.org/conferencesevents/statement_appropriate_conduct . We expect a lively discussion, but let's keep it kind.

    Happy reading!
