JULY 11 | 3PM | FAZIO ROOM (note: formerly scheduled June Book Club was moved to July) “The Personal Librarian” by Marie Benedict, Victoria Christopher Murray The little-known story of the black woman who supervised J. Pierpont Morgan’s storied library. It's 1905, and financier J.P. Morgan is seeking a librarian for his burgeoning collection of rare books and classical and Renaissance artworks. Belle da Costa Greene, with her on-the-job training at Princeton

University, seems the ideal candidate.

But Belle has a secret: Born Belle Marion Greene, she is the daughter of Richard Greene, the first black graduate of

Harvard, and she's passing as white. Her mother Genevieve, daughter of a prominent African American family, decided on moving to New York to expand her family’s opportunities.

Richard, an early civil rights advocate, was so dismayed by her decision that he left. As Belle thrives, the main source of suspense is whether her secret will be discovered. Leverage is a talent, as her ruthless negotiating prowess and flirtatious mien win her grudging admiration and a certain notoriety.

Review: Kirkus Reviews

AUGUST 1 | 3PM | FAZIO ROOM “The Lincoln Highway” by Amor Towles Amor Towles’s new novel takes you on an American road trip, as it begins with a deceptively straightforward premise. Upon the death of his father from cancer, 18-yearold Emmett Watson is released early from a juvenile work farm in Kansas and driven home by a kind warden to a small town in Nebraska, where he is reunited with his precocious 8-year-old brother, Billy. Facing foreclosure on the family farm and violent retribution from the family of the bully he accidentally killed at the fairgrounds, Emmett has an immediate and stark choice – should he stay or should he go?

His decision to start fresh leads to a second choice – Texas or California? It’s a sentimental as well as practical choice, home to his mother, who left the family years earlier, sending postcards from locales along the Lincoln Highway during her journey west. As it turns out, not reaching the intended destination becomes entirely the point and power of this wise and wildly entertaining novel.
