This book choice is in observance of Asian Pacific Heritage month.</p> <p>In a third-person plural narrative voice that perfectly embodies the brutal and wistful communities he portrays, Lee tells the mythic story of young, small, yet mighty Fan, a breath-held diver preternaturally at home among the farmed fish she tends to. When her boyfriend inexplicably disappears, Fan escapes from B-Mor to search for him, embarking on a daring, often surreal quest in a violent, blighted world. She encounters a taciturn healer bereft of all that he cherished, a troupe of backwoods acrobats, and a disturbing cloister of girls creating an intricate mural of their muffled lives. -<em>Donna Seaman</em>, <em>Booklist</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <span st_url=http://hcpl.net/content/west-university-book-club-may-7 st_title='West University Book Club-May 7' class='st_facebook' ></span><span st_url=http://hcpl.net/content/west-university-book-club-may-7 st_title='West University Book Club-May 7' class='st_twitter' ></span><span st_url=http://hcpl.net/content/west-university-book-club-may-7 st_title='West University Book Club-May 7' class='st_digg' ></span><span st_url=http://hcpl.net/content/west-university-book-club-may-7 st_title='West University Book Club-May 7' class='st_pinterest' ></span><span st_url=http://hcpl.net/content/west-university-book-club-may-7 st_title='West University Book Club-May 7' class='st_email' ></span><script type='text/javascript'>var switchTo5x=true;</script> <script type='text/javascript' src='http://w.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js'></script> <script type='text/javascript'>stLight.options({publisher:''});</script> http://hcpl.net/content/west-university-book-club-may-7#comments Book Clubs Adult Program West University Thu, 27 Mar 2014 19:32:41 +0000 Margaret Triandafyllis 15512 at http://hcpl.net 1001 Books Before Kindergarten http://hcpl.net/content/1001-books-kindergarten-2 <p>Studies have shown that families who start reading aloud to their children at birth help to strengthen their language skills and building vocabulary.&nbsp; The program is designed to help prepare your children for kindergarten by developing these skills.</p> <p>1,001 books sounds like a lot of books, but if you read only three books a day, you will be done in just a year !</p> <p>For a log, come to StoryTime on Tuesdays at 10:30 AM, Baby Lapsit on Wednesdays at 10:30 AM or go to the Kids site on HCPL&#39;s website <a href="http://kids.hcpl.net/pandt/1001BooksBeforeKindergarten.htm" title="http://kids.hcpl.net/pandt/1001BooksBeforeKindergarten.htm">http://kids.hcpl.net/pandt/1001BooksBeforeKindergarten.htm</a></p> <p>to print your own.&nbsp; Books read at storytimes count, too.

Wednesday March 5, at 11 a.m.</p> <p>Already knowing the arc of Sonia Sotomayor&rsquo;s biography doesn&rsquo;t adequately prepare you for the sound of her voice in this winning memoir that ends, interestingly, before the Yale Law School grad was sworn in as the first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice. Hers is a voice that lands squarely between self-deprecating and proud, grateful and defiant; a voice lilted with bits of Puerto Rican poetry; a voice full of anger, sadness, ambition, and love. My Beloved World is one resonant, glorious tale of struggle and triumph. &ndash;Sara Nelson</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <span st_url=http://hcpl.net/content/west-university-book-club-march-5 st_title='West University Book Club-March 5' class='st_facebook' ></span><span st_url=http://hcpl.net/content/west-university-book-club-march-5 st_title='West University Book Club-March 5' class='st_twitter' ></span><span st_url=http://hcpl.net/content/west-university-book-club-march-5 st_title='West University Book Club-March 5' class='st_digg' ></span><span st_url=http://hcpl.net/content/west-university-book-club-march-5 st_title='West University Book Club-March 5' class='st_pinterest' ></span><span st_url=http://hcpl.net/content/west-university-book-club-march-5 st_title='West University Book Club-March 5' class='st_email' ></span><script type='text/javascript'>var switchTo5x=true;</script> <script type='text/javascript' src='http://w.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js'></script> <script type='text/javascript'>stLight.options({publisher:''});</script> http://hcpl.net/content/west-university-book-club-march-5#comments Book Clubs Adult Program West University Thu, 06 Feb 2014 19:17:04 +0000 Margaret Triandafyllis 15168 at http://hcpl.net Dr. Duck visits from Urgent Care for Kids http://hcpl.net/content/dr-duck-visits-urgent-care-kids <p><img alt="" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2884/12307478425_4878b87ff7_s.jpg" style="width: 145px; height: 156px;" />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; At story time Tuesday, Dr. Duck visited the West University Library.&nbsp; He listened to the stories and sang with us.&nbsp; Dr. Duck wanted to let the community know about the Urgent Care for Kids facility nearby on Bissonnet just past Kirby Drive.&nbsp; There are information flyers and magnets upstairs in the Children&#39;s Section.</p> <span st_url=http://hcpl.net/content/dr-duck-visits-urgent-care-kids st_title='Dr. Duck visits from Urgent Care for Kids' class='st_facebook' ></span><span st_url=http://hcpl.net/content/dr-duck-visits-urgent-care-kids st_title='Dr. Duck visits from Urgent Care for Kids' class='st_twitter' ></span><span st_url=http://hcpl.net/content/dr-duck-visits-urgent-care-kids st_title='Dr. Duck visits from Urgent Care for Kids' class='st_digg' ></span><span st_url=http://hcpl.net/content/dr-duck-visits-urgent-care-kids st_title='Dr. Duck visits from Urgent Care for Kids' class='st_pinterest' ></span><span st_url=http://hcpl.net/content/dr-duck-visits-urgent-care-kids st_title='Dr. Duck visits from Urgent Care for Kids' class='st_email' ></span><script type='text/javascript'>var switchTo5x=true;</script> <script type='text/javascript' src='http://w.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js'></script> <script type='text/javascript'>stLight.options({publisher:''});</script> http://hcpl.net/content/dr-duck-visits-urgent-care-kids#comments West University Tue, 04 Feb 2014 17:16:52 +0000 Libby N 15150 at http://hcpl.net
