February Library Display
by Anne Newins
Since Valentine’s Day is approaching, it only seems appropriate for the library to celebrate books about love during February. But, as one library volunteer said, “Almost all books are about love.” This certainly may be true if one assumes that the author has a passion for their subject.
How then to narrow the theme so that the books can fit on a single round table? One solution was to include books about three aspects of love: 1) romantic love, 2) love of family, and 3) love of critters. Below are a few sample titles.
Romance
The Paris Wife, by Paula McClain
Peony in Love, by Lisa See
Life Mask, by Emma Donoghue
Love of Family
Homegoing, by Y’a’a Gyasi
Spool of Blue Thread, by Anne Tyler
The Mountains Sing, by Nguyen Phan Que Mai
