The next book club selection is available for checkout at Cowles!  We will be reading the 2017 All Iowa Reads book, Bottomland, by Michelle Hoover. Cowles Library has books available for checkout on a weekly basis (hint: ask for the book on reserve at the circulation desk).

Please see the attached flyer for additional information. Contact Sara Heijerman at ascspecialevents@drake.edu if you have any questions, would like to receive future book club info directly to your email, or would like to RSVP for the discussion. Our spring break discussion will be Tuesday, March 14, at 4:45 p.m. (Mars Cafe); we’ve had a lot of fun at these, please feel free to join us!

We hope you’ll enjoy the book recommendation—we’ve also pre-selected our summer book, if you want to get a jump start on the next great read. We’ll be reading Lab Girl by Hope Jahren. Have a great Spring semester, and happy reading.
