Bethesda Reads Book Discussion Club

Connie Morella Library

Interested in joining? The Book Club meets the second Thursday of each month from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm, main meeting room. We'll talk over the book "The Personal Librarian" by Marie Benedict.

The book chosen for this month's discussion is "The Personal Librarian" by Marie Benedict. It tells the story of J. P. Morgan’s personal librarian, an extraordinary woman who was forced to hide her true identity and pass as white in order to leave a lasting legacy that enriched our nation. Famous for her intellect, style, and wit, Belle da Costa Greene shares the lengths she must go to for the protection of her family and her heritage.

Copies of this book will be available at the check out desk.
