This year, the library is excited to host a staff book club! Once a month, members of staff come together to discuss a chosen book in a relaxed and friendly setting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In our first session, we spent time talking about the kinds of books we enjoy and shared ideas for future reads.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The winning choice was Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner. After reading the book, we reconvened to talk about its powerful themes of loss, family, and identity. To balance the emotional depth of the story, we enjoyed some Korean snacks, which tied in beautifully with the book’s cultural elements.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The session was a great success, with everyone enjoying both the conversation and the refreshments. For our next meeting, the group unanimously chose Intermezzo as our next book to explore. We’re all looking forward to another thoughtful discussion!
