¡La Biblioteca Viva! - Discusión de libro en español

Únase con nosotros en nuestra discusión de libro en español, ¡La biblioteca viva!, un club de lectura donde las historias cobran vida a través de la conversación y la interacción.

Aquí, cada libro es una puerta abierta a nuevas ideas, culturas y emociones, transformando la experiencia de leer en un viaje compartido. ¡Ven y sé parte de una biblioteca que respira, escucha y conecta! La biblioteca viva se reune el segundo martes a las 5:30 PM de cada mes en la biblioteca principal de Lakeland.

El libro para el mes de julio es Tierra Americana, de la autora Jeanine Cummins.
