Let Reading Take you Places in August

August is the final month to Let Reading Take You Places in Derry’s Ruth Codington Lending Library.

It’s time to travel the globe and “book” your ticket to anywhere! See India through the eyes of 17 year old Lakshmi in The Henna Artist, head to Victorian England in Anne Perry’s mystery No Graves As Yet, or find out the fate of the Price family’s mission in the Belgian Congo in Barbara Kingsolver’s Poisonwood Bible. Get a head start on our 300th Anniversary trip with a book on Scottish customs, learn about the three faiths of Jerusalem, or peruse the biblical prints of Japanese printmaker Sadao Watanabe. And if you still haven’t followed Liz Gilbert through Italy (Eat), India (Pray), and Bali (Love), now is your chance!

While you’re at the library picking up your next entry in the Summer Reading Contest (Aug 13 deadline approaching fast!), visit the Staff Shelf to see their travel reading recommendations. Then, add your votes to the This or That graffiti wall (eat cacio y pepe in Italy OR carne asada in Argentina?) Don’t forget, you can browse books any time in our online catalog.
