Never Too Old: a Young Adult Book Club for Adults meets the 1st WEDNESDAY of the month to enjoy the relevance and diversity of young adult and middle grade books and authors. All ages are welcome. Our next meeting is Wednesday, February 7th at 5pm. Email Beth@LopezLibrary.org for more information.
February 7th – Everything You Wanted to Know About Indians But Were Afraid to Ask by Anton Treuer – A “book of questions and answers for Native and non-Native young readers alike. Ranging from ‘Why is there such a fuss about nonnative people wearing Indian costumes for Halloween?’ to ‘Why is it called a traditional Indian fry bread taco?’ to ‘What’s it like for Natives who don’t look Native?’ to ‘Why are Indians so often imagined rather than understood?’ and beyond, [this book] does exactly what its title says …”–Publisher marketing.
There is both an adult and a young adult version; read either one; it’s fun to explore the sections that interest you. Also available on Libby and Hoopla.
March 6th – Novels in Verse – We’ve enjoyed these in the past, but have since purchased many more titles, so it will be worth reading in this unique genre again. “Novels in Verse are a type of narrative poetry in which a novel-length narrative is told through the medium of poetry rather than prose. Either simple or complex stanza verse-forms may be used, but there will usually be a large cast, multiple voices, dialogue, narration, description, and action in a novel-like manner.” (Wikipedia)
