Reading Party

Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m.

Starting on March 19, 2024, Geisel will host a weekly Reading Party each on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. for the remainder of the semester. The last party will be on April 30, 2024. 

How it Works

Bring something to read (fiction, non-fiction, textbook, magazine, whatever), or pick something from Geisel's collections. We'll read for a hour or so, silently, as a group in the Reading Room. After one hour you will be invited to share what you've read with the person/s sitting next to you. 

Take advantage of this time to read, learn from others, and find out about other great books to read. 

Coffee, tea, and cocoa will be provided. 

No RSVP required. Attend when you can.

All are welcome!

All members of the SAC Community are invited to attend a book group discussion of "Year of Wonders" by Geraldine Brooks. We will be meeting in the Library Classroom (upper level of Geisel) at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, March 21, 2024. 

Description

"When an infected bolt of cloth carries plague from London to an isolated village, a housemaid named Anna Frith emerges as an unlikely heroine and healer. Through Anna's eyes we follow the story of the fateful year of 1666, as she and her fellow villagers confront the spread of disease and superstition" (GoodReads.com).

Copies of the book are available for you to borrow at the Circulation Desk.

All members of the SAC Community are invited to attend a book group discussion of "Mexican Gothic" by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. We will be meeting in the Library Classroom (upper level of Geisel) at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 18, 2024.

Description

"After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemí Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She’s not sure what she will find...[and] mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic house behind" (GoodReads.com).

Copies of the book are available for you to borrow at the Circulation Desk.

Do you want to share your story, but are not sure how to do it? 

Join us for a presentation by nationally recognized creator of bilingual zines, Yeiry Guevara. In addition to reviewing what zines are and how to make them, Yeiry will share with you her personal experience creating bilingual zines (Spanish / English) as an expression of her intersecting and multiple identities.

After her presentation, you will have an opportunity to create a zine of your own.

What are Zines?

A zine, short for fanzine or magazine, is a self-published work of original or appropriated texts or images. Zines are created to enable people, often from marginalized communities and without access to mainstream publishing systems, to share their stories. Zines empower individuals and communities to help shape the public narrative and foster self-representation to challenge biases, make visible silenced voices/stories/narratives, and promote equity and inclusion.

Learn more about zines at Geisel Library.

Program funded by the Diversity & Inclusion Innovation Fund. 

Sponsored by Geisel Library and Goffstown Public Library.
