Congratulations @aminaluqmandawson for winning both the coveted Newbery Medal and the Coretta Scott King Author Award for “Freewater.” Thrilled we got to host you at Shirlington Library last Juneteenth. @ALALibrary #alayma #CorettaScottKingAward #JohnNewberyMedal
@mizzelle @aplstacks @APL_Pete @ArlingtonVALib I avoided Austen until my 30s... lumping her in with other authors who bored me. I think I got much more out of P&P at 35 than I would have at 16 - when I finally read her work I was old enough to understand the social history, read between the lines, etc.
We're going back to high school on #BigBookPodcast Season 4! When did you first read Pride & Prejudice? Have you read it more than once? Has your understanding of the novel changed with time, or rereading? bigbookclubarlington.libsyn.com/back-to-high-s…
The #BigBookPodcast tackles Holmes, in three parts. (No matter how you feel about Sherlock Holmes, it's hard to avoid the way Arthur Conan Doyle's analytical detective has shaped the mystery/detective genre.) bigbookclubarlington.libsyn.com/holmes-trio-a-…
Tomorrow morning we're sending out our NextReads Fantasy and Science Fiction newsletter, a round-up of the most compelling recent titles, and some hidden gems! Sign up now to get it! library.arlingtonva.us/explore/for-re…
“Colin Firth is the best Darcy” “Matthew McFayden is the best Darcy” you’re all forgetting someone
hey (with intentions of hunting you for sport on my own private island)
I like these books so much that I've listened to them several times (I should re-listen, again, to discover how my older self reads them!)
Have you read "Dark Life" by Kat Falls? @AplAlex recommends it! libcat.arlingtonva.us/GroupedWork/58…
Because perspective changes everything, for the latest episode of #BigBookPodcast we read both Shakespeare's 1606 tragic play "King Lear" and Christopher Moore's 2009 comedic novel, “Fool." bigbookclubarlington.libsyn.com/king-lear-fool
If you missed last week's excellent conversation with writer and book critic Parul Sehgal on how to define, or re-define a "classic novel," you can catch it now on YouTube until May 21: youtu.be/kJ5HWn4VsbE
Recording in progress! #BigBookPodcast episode on King Lear & Fool
We're not fooling about the great gifts you can find for yourself or someone you love at the Aurora Hills @LibFriendsARL Book Sale! All sales support Library programs like storytimes, Summer Reading, author talks and much more.
We'll be recording the Fool and Lear episode this Friday - April 1, in fact - so if you do have any thoughts or questions, post them by Friday with #BigBookPodcast and I'll try to bring them up.
None of us caught my mistake until last week, when we were prepping to record the next episode... So in order to not set the schedule back, we're going to move forward with the mixed up schedule.
If you've listened to the "A Room with a View" & "Sex and Vanity" episode of the #BigBookPodcast, you might have noticed that I mixed up the reading list mid-recording, and said that the next books were "Fool" and "King Lear," instead of "Beowulf" and "The Mere Wife"...
In our latest episode of the #BigBookPodcast, Pete and Jennie compare how E.M. Forster and Kevin Kwan explore class, travel, and maybe depression, in "A Room with a View" (1908) and "Sex and Vanity" (2020) library.arlingtonva.us/2022/03/28/big…
On this date in Arlington history: On March 29, 1954, Thurgood Marshall, then special counsel to the NAACP, came to speak at Hoffman-Boston High School to speak on the topic of civil rights. Marshall would go on to become the first Black Justice on the Supreme Court.
Whether you're working from home, back in the office, don't have an office or never left it, you'll find much to like in these books about office life... #TropeTuesday libcat.arlingtonva.us/MyAccount/MyLi…
Have books that no longer bring you joy? Clearing out your shelves to make room for new books? Let FOAL help with your spring cleaning! Please consider donating your books, puzzles, games, and magazines at your nearest library branch. We’ll resell to raise $ for @ArlingtonVALib!
Join us tonight at 7 p.m. for Arlington Reads with poet Reginald Dwayne Betts, of the Freedom Reads Project! Watch live: youtube.com/watch?v=dctVRu… Attend in-person: arlingtonva.libcal.com/event/8836466
