If you could only bring three books to a desert island, which would you pack?
Honestly, the scriptures and religious books, the Narnia series and Gerald Lund books.
First, welcome to the Media Clerk “club”! I hope you have enjoyed your first year. Also, I love that you would bring the Narnia series to the island!
I love “The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate” it is such a heart warming story and makes you realize the reality of what life must have been like for a young girl growing up at that time, wanting to be like her grandfather and being interested in the great outdoors and science, something a lady wouldn’t do!
A good friend and a fellow librarian at West Kearns, Johneen Anderson and I read it about the same time and we loved it and talked about it!
