And happy spring! With longer days and warmer weather -- and with COVID vaccines becoming more readily available -- there is a feeling of hope in the air, and in this newsletter we look at some of the positive takeaways from book groups meeting on Zoom.

If you haven't already registered for our upcoming free webinar for public librarians, "Building Community Through Book Clubs," you can register via the link below -- it's offered on two different dates.

We also feature our interview with Darien Public Library in Connecticut on how they maintain nearly 100 registered book groups!

Subscribers will be especially interested to learn about our downloadable spreadsheets of books publishing soon -- a very helpful tool for collection development librarians.

And finally, we provide you with the latest book news from around the industry, and showcase the new and noteworthy books publishing in April.

Enjoy!

Elena Spagnolie, Library Specialist
