Favorite Books
Welcome to the Favorite Books Club SIG!
The Favorite Books Club SIG meets monthly to discuss books the group has identified for review. We read a variety of both fiction and non-fiction chosen by the group and facilitated each month by one of the members. We try to select only books available in paperback and that are available in the library. If you love books, come join us! Information on our current choice can be found on this page and in the Events calendar prior to the discussion.
Announcements
We have transitioned back to in-person meetings at Braddock District Government Center (Supervisor’s Meeting Room).
No Meeting in July and August

Children’s Book Drive – 2024
LLI once again supported Read Early And Daily (R.E.A.D.) with a book drive in May. R.E.A.D. was founded in 2018 by Jennifer Sauter-Price and has made a significant difference in many children’s lives.
A sincere thank you to everyone who contributed to the book drive this year. We collected 115 new board books for R.E.A.D. They will be distributed to infants and toddlers in need. When I contacted the head of the organization, Jennifer Sauter-Price, with the result of our drive, her response was “Fantastic!”
Remember, just one book can make a real difference in a child’s life!
