Readers’ Café Book Club to meet April 9th

The Readers’ Café Book Club will meet on Wednesday, April 9th at 7 PM to discuss Kabul Beauty School: an American Woman Goes Behind the Veil by Deborah Rodriguez.

If you aren’t yet familiar with the Readers’ Café Book Club, it is a monthly book club that deals with “lighter fare,” that is, entertaining books from various genres. Discussions are thought-provoking, and readers share their personal reactions while sipping hot beverages from our very own café. Come to just one meeting, or come to all of them.

The Reader’s Café Book Club meets the second Wednesday evening every month from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the library café.

Staff Picks: Pauli

Kabul Beauty School: an American Woman Goes Behind the Veil by Deborah Rodriguez.
NY: Random House, 2007.

Pauli says : I just finished listening to Kabul Beauty School by Deborah Rodriguez on CD. I was enthralled by the story of a Michigan beautician (Rodriguez) who started a beauty school in Kabul, Afghanistan, after visiting there with a non-governmental agency and realizing that both Westerners and Afghani women were starved for hair salons. She forms lasting friendships and assists hundreds of women to become as self-sufficient as possible in a conservative, war-torn country.

The Readers’ Café Book Club will be discussing this book at the library on April 9th at 7 PM.
