So I apologize for the delay, summer has kept us all busy with different things. Espically summer reading, and added traffic to the library.
May's book selection was Fatherhood
June's book selection was A Child Called It
July's book selection was The Last Lecture
May's book was all about Dad. Fatherhood gave a good discussion on father's and parenting in general. Even if you don't have kids, you can appreciate the things that you might have done to dear old daddy.
June's book gave a good discussion on how foster care operates, and how do we treat each other as human beings. It brought an emotional connection, but it is always appreciated when the book is chosen for a specifc purpose. It's appreciated when it's not.
July's Last Lecture just happened on July 18th. The person who picked it had a personal connection with book. Her husband was diagnosed with Cancer, and the book had came out a few month's before. He tried to read it, and got through about half of it. He decided that he wanted to write his own letter or "lecture" if you will. He ended up not getting a chance to finish it, but he did get some done. She shared the letter with us, and that was nice that she wanted to share it with us all.
There wasn't a person who said that they did not like the book. It is a great feel good book, that there is something that everyone can relate to. Thanks for the book choice MA.
What's in store for the "Last" book of this "Summer"? See the next post.
