Our thanks to those of you able to join us for today’s book club meeting to discuss Romance books. As always, so many of you had so many wonderful contributions to share with us, and it is very appreciated.
This was our first book club meeting for 2022, and we look forward to chatting with you again at our next Online Book Club discussion on Wednesday March 23 to discuss the topic:
Disability/Neurodivergent
School libraries are safe, inclusive spaces that support their communities needs. All readers deserve to see themselves in the books they read. What books contain interesting characters who are also are neurodivergent?
Disclaimer: The lists generated as a result of Book Club discussions are not, by any means, an exhaustive list of all titles or authors for each genre/category discussed. Nor will all titles be suitable for all libraries. We advise staff discretion when referencing these lists, to properly confirm individual title suitability for individual libraries, school and students needs.
