The Arroyo Book Club will be reading Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari for our May discussion. To quote from the catalog description:
“One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one—homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us?”
Stop by the branch for a copy of the book. If you’d like it in ebook format, you can find it on Hoopla (https://www.hoopladigital.com/ebook/sapiens-yuval-noah-harari/12518369)
We will come together to discuss the book on Saturday, May 23 at 3 p.m. It will be a hybrid meeting so you have the option of attending in person or via Zoom. If you’d like to join us via Zoom send an email to ayosco@lapl.org so we can get the link to you.
Note: because the library will not be using the meeting room. Please find us in the lobby.
This month the question was how many legs does the most “leggy” millipede have? It has 750 legs.
The question, and answer, were found in National Geographic Kids. National Geographic Kids includes the complete run of the magazine from 2009 to the present, as well as books, videos, and images. High-quality informational texts are available for primary, upper elementary, and middle school in English, Language Arts, social studies, and science. Best for children aged 6 - 14. Find it on the library’s Research & Homework page under “N” and access it with your library card.
Laurell K. Hamilton kicks off a new series with A Terrible Fall of Angels. Zaniel Havelock is a detective. He has the special ability to communicate directly with angels. He lives, as you have surmised, in a world where the spiritual is a lot more physical than it is in our world. His latest case involves a demon possession. He must pull out all the stops to get to the demon before more people suffer.
The book is a quick read. It is an obvious series opener, setting up a number of situations and relationships that will obviously be explored in future volumes. The book is interesting enough. I would recommend it to people who are already fans of the author as well as those who enjoy a mix of magic & corporeal religion.
