Lit Chat June 2021

Find out some great new reads as PJ and Bonnie discuss what they've been reading lately -- and whether you should, too.  Next month is a group read for Lit Chat, so join us in discussing The Mistress of the Ritz by Melanie Benjamin in July.

Atascocita Branch Library's Lit Chat was originally Lunch 'n' Lit, the monthly book club for adults.  There are still months when the group selects a book to read together, but now months where you share what you've been reading lately.  Let us know if you've read one of the titles talked about here or something you think we all should read!

It is Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage month, and we have programs to help you explore or reconnect with Asian American and Pacific Islander culture.  Asian/Pacific encompasses all of the Asian continent and the Pacific islands of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia.   We don't cover it all, but we will explore online resources and some great reads by Asian American authors.
