For December and a time of year that can feel lonely, we will be reading "Big Friendship: How We Keep Each Other Close" by Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman.
How to Join:
Members will receive the Google form RSVP link through email or Facebook Messenger and have access before it's opened to non-members. Give me a heads-up either way by RSVPing—makes planning easier!
Where to Get Copies:
Five copies will be available at the Northtown branch at Western and Pratt under the name "Lula's Book Club". They are first come, first serve.
You can find out what other libraries have copies to borrow here: https://search.worldcat.org/title/1201300224
