This month we’re reading The Memory Police by Yoko Okagawa. Get the book at the Library!

Register with sbramble@dobbsferrylibrary.org to get the Zoom link — please indicate the title and date of the program you are registering for.

“On an unnamed island, objects are disappearing: first hats, then ribbons, birds, roses… Most of the inhabitants are oblivious to these changes, while those few able to recall the lost objects live in fear of the draconian Memory Police, who are committed to ensuring that what has disappeared remains forgotten. When a young writer discovers that her editor is in danger, she concocts a plan to hide him beneath her floorboards, and together they cling to her writing as the last way of preserving the past. Powerful and provocative, The Memory Police is a stunning novel about the trauma of loss.”

The Library Board of Trustees meets on the third Wednesday of every month.

The beginning of each meeting is open to public comments.

This month, we will be reading Garlic and Sapphires by Ruth Reichl. Get the book at the Library!

Register with reference@dobbsferrylibrary.org — please indicate the title and date of the program you are registering for!

“GARLIC AND SAPPHIRES is Ruth Reichl’s riotous account of the many disguises she employs to dine anonymously. There is her stint as Molly Hollis, a frumpy blond with manicured nails and an off-beige Armani suit that Ruth takes on when reviewing Le Cirque. The result: her famous double review of the restaurant: first she ate there as Molly; and then as she was coddled and pampered on her visit there as Ruth, New York Times food critic.

What is even more remarkable about Reichl’s spy games is that as she takes on these various disguises, she finds herself changed not just superficially, but in character as well. She gives a remarkable account of how one’s outer appearance can very much influence one’s inner character, expectations, and appetites.

As she writes, “Every restaurant is a theater . . . even the modest restaurants offer the opportunity to become someone else, at least for a little while.” GARLIC AND SAPPHIRES is a reflection on personal identity and role playing in the decadent, epicurean theaters of the restaurant world.”
