Bookwise News From the Library
September 17, 2021
Welcome to the Bookwise Newsletter! This edition highlights book groups and literary and author events, and offers reading recommendations. Let us know what you think and you can always look for more Bookwise updates on our website!
What is the best way to get to know a librarian? By getting them to dish about books, of course! Each month, we will introduce you to one of the librarians of the Chelmsford Public Library. This month, we talked to a key part of our Circulation team, Wes Jones, who included some great recommendations for board games in our collection!
Check out our latest blog post as Vaanya reviews Liz Kessler's North of Nowhere, a fun, mind-bending mystery. Sriya tells us about immigration and adjustment in modern New York in The Sun Is Also a Starby Nicola Yoon and Saimah writes about another mystery, We Were Liars by e. lockhart, told through a series of letters and emails. Finally, Cynthia provides her take on The Assassin's Bladeby Sarah Maas, which is a collection of prequels to the hit Throne of Glass series.
Be sure to follow us on Instagram to get the latest Bookspots from Jessica and Deanna. Every week they'll do quick one to two minute reviews of a book that they're excited about! Recent picks include Of Women and Salt by Gabriela Garcia, Gone for Good by Joanna Schaffhausen, The Arsonists’ City by Hala Alyan, and Billy Summers by Stephen King.
Library Book Groups
Currently, all groups are meeting on Zoom unless otherwise noted.
While we’re always ready to provide you with recommendations for new books, you might consider trying one of our book groups for an opportunity to read and share books you might not otherwise consider.
Please be sure to register to receive an invitation to virtual Zoom meetings. All of our groups are welcoming new members.
