Shirley DiMatteis, Head

Our group began in April 1999 and has met monthly since that date. We read a variety of books chosen from the suggestions members offer for consideration. One reward is that we find enjoyment in a book or author we had not previously thought of reading. We also discover that our impressions of a book or character can give insight to a view other than our own.

Our purpose in meeting is to share a love of reading and to enjoy the fellowship of making new friends. It is not necessary to purchase books as we mostly borrow from the public libraries. Meetings are in the Family Life Center from 10am until noon on the second Monday of the month except for January. Members choose a month in which they provide light refreshments. Each month’s book selection is published in the bulletin and our website. Anyone can join us—just come and give us a try!

The Personal Librarian by co-authors Marie Benedict and Victoria Murray
is the subject for the December 13, 2021 meeting of the Resurrection Parish Book Discussion Group. Wealthy J.P. Morgan hired a young Belle da Costa Greene to curate his recently built Pierpont Morgan Library.  He thought he had hired a young white woman but Bella was only white by appearance. For decades she passed as white among the social elites in the U.S. and abroad.
Meetings are held the second Monday of the month from 10:00 am until noon in the Family Life Center of STM Church. All are welcome.
