The Literary Ladies Book Club is a group just for the girls. We like to have in depth discussions of the merits and plot points of a wide variety of works, and welcome new and different perspectives. This month we're discussing The Dearly Beloved by Cara Wall.

Registration is extended for the 5th WCPL Virtual Trivia game will be based on General Trivia Knowledge, Part 2. Registration for the challenge runs from 4/12 until 4/20. The self-paced Kahoot will be open for one week, starting 4/21 at 10:00 AM and ending on 4/27 at 10:00 AM. Once registration is over, we will send an email with a link to that specific game in Kahoot. You do not need to create an account in Kahoot, you just must open the link on a device (mobile, laptop, or desktop) with a web browser. You will have to use the same device to log in and out of the game. At the beginning of the game you must set up a nickname in Kahoot. Try to use part of your name (three consecutive letters from your last name) so we are able to award our winners and frequent participants. Rules of the Game: Each question is multiple choice, only one of the four choices will be correct, and there are 30 seconds to answer each question. You must click "NEXT" to progress to the next question.

This month we're reading Me and White Supremacy by Layla F. Saad. This one was recommended as an excellent resource for actionable steps to take to combat racism.
