No meetings, no deadlines, no pressure, just good reading! This month’s title is "Trust" by Hernan Diaz. Pick up a copy of the book at the Culture & AV desk.
Enjoy fiction and nonfiction, large print, and audiobooks. Author information, questions to ponder, and readalikes are included with each book.
Trust has one question at its heart: Who was Mildred Bevel? In Diaz's engrossing story, he takes a four-part approach to answering the question: a short novel, an unfinished autobiography, a memoir, and Mildred's own journal, each section containing a compelling perspective that builds upon the one that came before and flowing easily into the next in his supremely skilled hands, with increasing momentum and intrigue.
Main Library, located in the heart of downtown Akron, combines compelling public space with meaningful and relevant public library services for all members of our community. Since opening in 2004, the downtown library welcomes more than one million visitors each year.
