JOIN THE UWF READING PROGRAM

By Connie Scott, River Valley Lending Librarian/Resource Manager

 

Whether you read paperbacks, hard cover books, use e-readers, or listen to taped books, United Women in Faith encourages all women to join the UWF Reading Program in order to stay current in our knowledge of today’s issues and continue to be women of action.

 

Do you have books from the reading program that you are finished with? Please consider donating them to the Lending Library for UWF readers throughout Minnesota to read.

 

Information on the UWF Reading Program can be found online here or by contacting me by cell/text 507-456-3073 or email.

 

Lending Library

 

The lending library currently has over 100 books from the suggested reading list of the UWF Reading Program. You may contact me by phone/text or email to request a list of all books available and to borrow a book. Requested books will be mailed to you. 

 

When finished reading them, use Media Mail to return them to me in a mailing envelope that will be provided. The cost to you for postage is minimal. The library will also be available at most district meetings, annual conference, and Mission U. Books may be checked out or returned at those locations.

 

Library-To-Go

 

UWF meeting planners, are you looking for a program idea? Why not invite me to give a presentation on the Reading Program at one of your meetings? I would enjoy coming to see you and will bring along our lending library for you to check out books. Contact me to schedule a day to attend a monthly meeting of your local unit.

 

Zoom Book Discussions

 

Contact me if you would like to join our zoom book discussions. We discuss five books each year - one from each of the five categories from the reading program. 

We have two left for 2024 and you are welcome to join us. 

• September 9, 2024: Land of Silence by Tessa Afshar (Spiritual Growth)
• November 11, 2024: Conditional Citizens: On Belonging in America by Laila Lalami (Social Action).

 

Books for 2025 will be selected in late fall. Ask me what books I recommend! I look forward to meeting you!
