For the 3rd year in a row, SLMC Lorie Steed has facilitated a staff book club at Central Davidson High School that focused on fellowship and fun. This organic group of readers works together to choose the titles and meet about monthly at a local eatery after school to discuss the books. The idea came from Principal Valerie Feezor who had benefited from a similar book club years ago. Feezor, herself, even participates from time to time! One condition? NO professional books. The point of this club is to create a diversion from the daily grind, to just create opportunities to read some great books and spark some great discussions on interesting topics. The suggested titles are crowdsourced using the website Tricider. Books are selected by having members suggest titles by posting summaries and vote on their favorites. Lorie does facilitate the group by sending email reminders, setting dates and bringing discussion questions to the group. But all in all, the group is low pressure and fun.
This month's selection is Where the Crawdads Sing and the restaurant is Cafe35.
