February Library Display

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
