Hi Judy, To clarify… Rachel led a wonderful roundtable discussion, where we discussed a variety of issues. In the last 5 minutes of the session, Rachel asked everyone to shout out the names of successful book clubs titles, which she copied down as the book titles poured in. So, for this particular session, it was really just a list… there wasn’t a lot of time for additional discussion about individual titles. There was talk about doing a longer book club discussion at a future conference. -Susan
P.S. I’d like to add my appreciation for the wonderful conference. It was the first time I attended an AJL conference and was delighted with the warm welcome and support. It was lovely to meet so many of you. Thank you for making it a memorable experience. -Susan Susan Kusel Librarian Temple Rodef Shalom 2100 Westmoreland Street Falls Church, VA 22043 (703) 532-2217 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> From: hasafran-bounces+skusel=templerodefshalom....@lists.service.ohio-state.edu [mailto:hasafran-bounces+skusel=templerodefshalom....@lists.service.ohio-state.edu] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Sunday, June 23, 2013 10:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ha-Safran] Can anyone share information from Rachel Kamin's book club session?
