Hey guys!
The East Lansing Public Library offers more than just the opportunity to check out books. They have a lot of great services, and you should really take advantage of them. We discussed in class about how reading should sometimes be just for fun. Well heres a chance to not only read a great book, but also gain a little something from it.
The East Lansing Public Library has an International Book Club. You get the opportunity to journey around the world by reading books about different cultures. There are also guest speakers, refreshments from the region, and more!!
This month they are reading the book: The Namesake, by Jhumpa Lahiri.
They will be meeting on February 20th, from 7-8:30om at the library.
I think this is a great way to learn about other cultures, while enjoying yourself. I think the more knowledgeable we are about other cultures, the better we will be as teachers. It is important to be well informed about people outside yourself, in order to teach children to be more accepting of others. Do what you will be preaching! Be diverse in knowledge by learning about diversity.
The East Lansing Lioadbrary is located at 950 Abbot Road, in East Lansing. If you need even more information, call them at 517.351.2420.

"The Namesake" was made into a movie as well. (I liked both interpretations.) Lahiri also has a book of short stories that I love: "The Interpreter of Maladies."
