An appreciation spout for our favourite book club.

@retiredlibrarian has consistently led the club and the account with integrity and with a clear goal:

To promote reading and discussing banned books.

Along the way, she’s provided us with a wonderful community to learn and grow with.

If you’ve watched over all these months, you’ve seen how thoughtful she is in leading the group.

You’ve seen the amount of time and preparation she’s put into the club and the community.

You’ve seen her gently help us learn how to deal with hard questions and how to ask ourselves even harder questions.

Questions we’re not entirely sure we want to know the answers to. Questions we need to answer honestly, if only in our own minds.

One of the best parts about being a member of this book club is how you’re welcomed to take part, and equally welcomed to watch if that’s more your comfort level.

Thank you, Libby.

Spoutible wouldn’t be nearly as interesting and as fun without you here.

Hugs.

Agreed! While I haven’t taken part in the book club, it has been wonderful to see the discussions, which have certainly impacted my decisions regarding which books to add to my “to read” pile.

I often end up too busy to take part during the discussions, but I always make time to go back and see what everyone had to say. Some really great discussions have come from the community. 💛
