LibraryDirector started the topic What Are You Reading Today? in the forum Dorcas Cafe & Chatroom 5 years, 5 months ago
I just began a new fantasy series: The Great Library, by Rachel Caine.

I had a lovely conversation yesterday about how private conversations can bridge the gaps between communities of people.
It is too easy to become entrenched in seeing people as “all this” or “all that.” “If they are of this political party, then they must believe only that.”
But human beings are infinitely more complex than simply binary labels…[Read more]
