Biographies to discuss
Just one week away until the next Book Club meeting at Te Aroha Library. The theme this month is ‘Biographies’. Remember these are scattered throughout the non-fiction section, according to subject areas, e g sport, music, royals etc. Fortunately they all wear a tell-tale ‘Biography’ sticker on their spines. If it’s all too daunting, do come and ask one of your friendly librarians for a spot of assistance – it’s what we’re here for :)
Enjoy your month of entering into someone else’s life!
See you at 4pm on Friday 1st March at the Te Aroha Library.
