KML Innovative Book Discussions

By |

The onslaught of the COVID virus has been devastating in many ways, but it has also brought about some creative and innovative ideas. One of the notable ones has occurred right here in Suffield at our local library. Beginning in April of 2021, librarian Pinki Shah, with her co-worker Sabine Schneider, instituted a Zoom program called Books and Beyond. This is not your usual book group discussion, and it is not part of a larger or national effort; it is something entirely local and entirely owing to the energy and thoughtful problem solving of the two librarians. Six times a year, during the fall and winter when outdoor activities are limited, the women select a book, often one by a debut author, and one with strong positive reviews.

Focusing on the Positive

In New England towns the seasons are usually clearly defined, almost delineated, even when one seems to flow easily into another. This year has been an anomaly; summer seemed to go on forever.
