The Brooke County public libraries are excited to share a glimpse of the first book club discussion of 2021!
We will be featuring the acclaimed story Becoming by Michelle Obama. Our discussion will next place Thursday January 28th. Please just our newsletter posts for more information. We'd love for you to join in!
In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era. As First Lady of the United States of America—the first African American to serve in that role—she helped create the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history, while also establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world, dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing with her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments.
