Hello Readers!

Welcome to the 2023-2024 Mary Elizabeth Garret Book Club sponsored by the Welch Medical Library. Our plan for the coming year is to have book clubs every other month in hybrid format - in-person in the 2nd floor Welch Medical Library conference room with a zoom link. We are going to read short story collections by individual authors. Our first selection is Baltimore author Laura Lippman’s 2022 collection -
