INALJ Book Club<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\"emily.guier\"<\/a>I recently moved to a new town, and in doing so, left my established book club in Laramie. I’m going through book club withdrawal and have subsequently been brainstorming different book club scenarios I could create in my new town. That got me thinking about what books would be good for this community, both serious and not so serious. Here are a few I would suggest, but I’d love to hear other suggestions from you.<\/p>\n

1) The World’s Strongest Librarian<\/a> by Josh Hanagarne. I’ve seen this title floating around for a while and it’s rated highly on Goodreads. Clearly a good pick for a group of librarians and strongmen. Wait, we’re not all body builders?<\/p>\n

2) Lean In<\/a> by Sheryl Sandberg. This has been a controversial book in the on-going working mother versus stay-at-home mother debate. I’d be interested to discuss this with the ladies out there, especially in the context of librarianship where women leaders are more prevalent than other careers.<\/p>\n

3) Never Eat Alone<\/a> by Keith Ferrazzi. I saw this title listed in some other recommended job hunting books. Networking is something I struggle with, and I’ve heard the same from others I’ve worked with in the past. A book about networking could result in some interesting discussion amongst a group who does a lot of e-networking.<\/p>\n

4) Open Season<\/a> by Linda Howard. This is a guilty pleasure book (smut), but the main character is a librarian and she’s spunky. They can’t all be serious reads, right?<\/p>\n

5) Quiet, the Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking<\/a> by Susan Cain. This may be a similar pick to #3. I’m introverted and like to read about ways to use this trait to my advantage. I think it could also be helpful in understanding our patrons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
