Reading can spark imagination, open up perception and stimulate conversation especially within book clubs.
Books clubs help build a sense of community while expanding a participant’s worldview. Since the pandemic, book clubs have been meeting on Zoom, allowing second-home owners and other friends and family who don’t live in Eagle County year-round to join from out of state. For example, Vail Public Library’s Books ‘n’ Bites club has about 23 members about 10 regulars from as far as Kentucky, California and North Dakota.
“It gives people a sense of community,” said Lori Barnes of the Vail Public Library.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Libraries across central Indiana are speaking up after concerns were raised about racist and insensitive imagery in six Dr. Seuss books that will no longer be published.
Those books include “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street” and “If I Ran the Zoo.”
Cheryl Dobbs, executive director of the Greenwood Public Library, said, “It’s very concerning, and we want to make sure that we are sensitive to every view point.”
Dobbs says the library is considering removing these books. It’ll need to evaluate them and make sure they’re in line with their collection development policy, which includes making sure books reflect the diversity of the community.
