The Book Lites at Norfolk UCC is next meeting February 22nd at 11:00 a.m. in Battell Chapel. The book being discussed is “The Personal Librarian” by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray.
A quick peek into the subject of the book – “The main character, Belle Da Costa Greene, was one of the most prominent career women of her time. As the personal librarian to financier J.P.Morgan, she pursued and curated a collection of rare books, manuscripts and art that became world-renowned. What the world didn’t know was that Belle Da Costa Greene was Black.” (taken from the NPR book review).
