Schools and Libraries

September 12, 2023

From: Weymouth Public Libraries - Tufts Library

Welcome to The Librarians Recommend, the newsletter where we, the people who recommend books for a living, bring you our picks for the most anticipated or relevant titles coming out each month.  

 So sit back and relax while we help you find that book you didn't know you were looking for...

"One book, one pen, one child and one teacher can change the world.” - Malala Yousafzai

Book Chat 

Have you read any good books lately? Stop by the library for this informal gathering on the first Thursday of each month at 10:00 AM from September to May. 

Book Chat is not a book club, it's a place to talk about our favorite books and authors, why we love reading, hot new releases, and more! Share your reads and listen to picks and pans of this avid group of readers. All are welcome to attend.
