Hello Readers!
Welcome to the 3rd meeting of the 2023-2024 Mary Elizabeth Garret Book Club sponsored by the Welch Medical Library. We have been meeting every other month in hybrid format - in-person in the 2nd floor Welch Medical Library conference room with a zoom link. We are reading short story collections by individual authors. We enjoyed Baltimore author Laura Lippman’s Seasonal Work in September and Jhumpa Lahiri’s Unaccustomed Earth in November. In January 2024 (happy new year!) we are reading Lone Ranger and Tonto - Fistfight in Heaven by Sherman Alexie for Wednesday January 24.
Please join the discussion of Lone Ranger and Tonto - Fistfight in Heaven from 5-6:30 pm, Wednesday January 24 in the Welch Medical Library, 2nd floor conference room (204).
