Duxbury Free Library

will there be a butler to serve the beverages?

I'd be happy to serve you, Claudia, after you read in the Children's Room!

I am glad to report that not only was I served a hot beverage, it arrived on a tray with a lacy doily. When's Happy Hour? Thanks so much to the great Library Ladies.

Ahead of BPL, probably for the first and last time! Of course, NYPL is #1 -- not a big surprise... Fun list!

A creative cluster is a group that commits to meet weekly for 12 weeks, and follows the curriculum and exercises in the book. Cameron suggests that it be peer-run, non-judgemental, suppportive and act as a "believing mirror"- a YES to each other's creativity.

I think a creative cluster might be good. I listened to the first two chapters and I could use the discipline of weekly meetings to follow her path.

I agree, Amy. I've been telling everyone I meet that audio is the way to go for this book. The way the readers captured the narrative was one-of-a-kind. Their voices. Their slang. Their intonations. No way I could have done the same in my head reading it in print. I wish it would be required reading for the students in Duxbury - the way life used to be. Our kids know nothing about it (and I barely do).

Claudia, that's a very interesting point - some books are better when listened to. Does anyone know of any others that are better heard than read?

it is an awesome page turner

If people like to listen to books on audio, we have the Hunger Games and Catching Fire on CD, in the adult audiobook collection.
