REMINDER:
This month's Portals Book Club will be
FRIDAY, June 5th from 12n - 2pm in the Community Room.
If you have been into the library lately, you will have noticed that we are in the process of installing new RFID security. Part of this process has been a weeding of out-of-date and less-than stellar condition books. This means that some of the books in the suggested reading lists have been removed from the collection. If you choose a book from one of these list and the book is no longer in our collection, we apologize. Please speak with Rhonda or Stephanie and we will be happy to help you find another title.
LGBT: First, for those who
have asked, the letters stand for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender. Book
must either be written by a person who is LGBT or contain a character who identifies
as LGBT.
Vacation: The book must contain a vacation. Doesn’t have to be the
entire book is about a vacation but sometime in the book must be spent on
vacation.
Direction: The title of the book must contain one of the four cardinal
directions. (North, South, East or West)
June Author: Read any book by an author born in the
month of June. A few examples are Dan Brown, Patricia Cornwell, Louise Erdrich,
and Deanna Raybourne.
The two mystery clues revealed for the month of June are:
Caribbean: Read any book set in the Caribbean. We are using the broad
definition of the Caribbean for this clue. In geographical terms the Caribbean
area includes the Caribbean Sea and all of the islands located to the southeast
of the Gulf of Mexico, east of Central America and Mexico, and to the north of
South America. The list of islands/countries/territories that count for the
purpose of this challenge are: Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, Bahamas,
Barbados, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Dominica,
Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Haiti, Jamaica, Martinique,
Montserrat, Netherlands Antilles, Puerto Rico, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint
Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos
and the US Virgin Islands.
Audio book/E-book: June
is audio book month so this clue is to listen to any audio book in the
collection. This can be a book on CD or any e-audiobook in our Camellia Net
collection. We know not everyone has an interest in audio books so you may also
read any e-book in our collection. The e-book can be a download from Camellia
Net or EBSCOhost.
Happy Reading!
