FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Liberty, TX – The Sam Houston Regional Library and Research Center (SHC) will hold its next quarterly book club meeting in its main building on Tuesday, Nov. 26. The book selection is The Paris Library by Janet Skeslien Charles. This novel features the American Library in Paris and a newly minted librarian working there during WWII, interwoven with the story of a modern teen living in Montana. The author was employed at the American Library and uses her knowledge of this setting to create a compelling work of historical fiction. Seemingly adored by those who love books and libraries, join other readers for a discussion of this fascinating tale.
Featuring fictional works with a connection to the world of museums, archives and libraries, the SHC Book Club is open to all and meets in the Center’s main building at 650 FM 1011 in Liberty. Home to extensive archival holdings documenting Southeast Texas, a library collection and a museum, the Center offers an ideal setting for discussions about novels tied to these fields. Each book club meeting is led by SHC staff.
Interested participants may obtain a copy of the novels through their local library or favorite bookstore to prepare for the conversation. For more information, contact SHC staff at (936) 336-8821 or via email at SamHoustonCenter@tsl.texas.gov.
