Take the GALILEO User Survey!

Friday, November 6th ~ Friday, November 20th

Take the GALILEO users survey and enter to win a $50 Amazon Gift Card. The annual survey has been conducted since 1996 and is important in helping raise awareness of the free (with your library card) GALILEO databases and providing feedback on users likes, dislikes, concerns, and visions. Last year, patron feedback was critical in the new GALILEO redesign.

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed.

Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil’s name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr. But what Starr does—or does not—say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life. ~Synopsis taken from Goodreads.com

All meetings will be conducted by phone and last between 30-45 minutes. A toll free phone number and access code will be sent by email to participants on the morning of the book discussion.
