DPNR is pleased to invite the public to the next meeting of the Talking Books Book Club, scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 10 at 10 a.m. The event will be held at the Regional Library for the Blind and Physically Challenged, now located inside the Florence Williams Library in Christiansted.

This month’s featured selection is A Christmas Beginning: A Novel by Anne Perry—a perfect seasonal read to spark discussion and connection.

“We’re thrilled to welcome readers and encourage everyone to explore our digital collection through Hoopla,” said DLAM Director Amy DeSorbo. “To make participation easier, we’ve added six new eBook copies and six audiobook versions of this month’s title. It’s a great opportunity to dive into a compelling story and engage with our vibrant reading community!”

The Talking Books Book Club meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 10 a.m. and is open to all interested readers.
