Mansfield Public Library’s newly created book club will meet monthly beginning Jan. 27, 2022. The club will meet via Zoom during the winter months.
Participants can choose their own level of involvement. They can only read the club’s monthly selection, participate in the Facebook discussions or join the group on Zoom.
The January selection is “The Girl With the Louding Voice” by AbiDaré. From the publisher: “The unforgettable, inspiring story of a teenage girl growing up in a rural Nigerian village who longs to get an education so that she can find her ‘louding voice’ and speak up for herself, ‘The Girl with the Louding Voice’ is a simultaneously heartbreaking and triumphant tale about the power of fighting for your dreams. Despite the seemingly insurmountable obstacles in her path, Adunni never loses sight of her goal of escaping the life of poverty she was born into so that she can build the future she chooses for herself – and help other girls like her do the same.”
Copies of the book can be picked up at the front desk. Large print and e-book editions available.
