Library to Host Reception for Book Clubs

Tompkins County Public Library will host a fun-filled reception and open house for members of local book clubs October 30 at 6 p.m. in the BorgWarner Community Room.

Facilitated by Reader’s Services Librarian Sarah Glogowski, this event will feature information on Library resources for book clubs, advice on selecting titles, tips for facilitating engaging discussions, details about borrowing book club kits and a presentation of Glogowski’s popular talk “You Can Judge a Book by Its Cover.”

A favorite of local clubs and not-for-profits, “You Can Judge a Book by Its Cover,” explores how—with just a quick glance—readers can use the location of an author’s name, the color of the cover and font size to determine how racy a romance novel will be, how to differentiate science fiction from fantasy, and even how popular an author is.

Glogowski is a sought after speaker.  The coordinator of TCPL’s annual Community Read, she has facilitated book clubs at TCPL, Cornell University, Lifelong, the City of Ithaca, and for many local fraternal organizations.

This reception is free and open to the public.  Light refreshments will be provided.

For more information, contact Glogowski at (607) 272-4557 extension 248 or sglogowski@tcpl.org.
