We have had a lot of questions
this past month about when the ARC Book Club will meet again. We wish we could
say tomorrow at our normal (pre Covid-19) time. Unfortunately, that is not going
to happen. We have no idea when we will be able to schedule a program in the
Library due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Instead, we are going to put out a Book
Club Newsletter and we need your help. Many of you have come by our office to
let us know you are still reading and to ask about meetings. Now we need you to
come by and let us know what you have read, what clues and tasks the books
counted for on the challenge, and did you enjoy the book enough to recommend it
to someone else. We will compile this information (along with other information
about the Challenge) and then send it out to the people who are signed up for
the challenge that regularly attend the book club.
This leads to the discussion of
when is the best time to come to our office. In the month of July we will be
doing some regular outreach with our friends at Decatur Youth Services. This
month the best day to drop in will be Friday.
Call us at 256-340-5780 the day before to set up a time to make sure we
will be available. You can also just give us the information over the phone! We
look forward to talking to each of you.
This leads to the task for the
month of July. We felt March was a bad time for this task (and now may not be a
better time) but it feels relevant to us. Read
a book where the world is changed by a major catastrophe. It could be a
virus, a solar storm (shout out to Linda Howard/Linda Winstead Jones), or any
other major natural disaster that affects events worldwide.
Happy Reading!
