Et cetera : What We're Reading: The Giver of Stars

We just finished discussing our latest Staff Book Club pick, 'The Giver of Stars' by Jojo Moyes. Set in 1930's America, this novel tells the story of several members of the Packhorse Librarians of Kentucky.

Driven by a variety of motives, the librarians overcome some very personal challenges to deliver books by horseback in their mountainous community. Our discussion centered on which of the characters we most identified with, our thoughts on the choices they made within the novel, and what parallels we could draw between their library and ours.

Our book club is a wonderful way for us to connect with each other as staff members and we look forward to our next book.

Happy reading!
