The Annotated Book Club: On the Hippie Trail

Posted by jmgulliford on

The Annotated Book Club

Hosted through La Farge Branch Library

 

Join us for a new spin on book clubs!

A single book is shared among the club.

Participants engage with each other through annotation.

How it works

1. Register to join the Annotated Book Club and place a hold on the book at tinyurl.com/OnTheHippieTrail

2. When you receive the book, you will have it for 2 weeks.

3. You will be assigned a specific color of tabs and pen. Each participant will have a unique color and they will be included in the bag when you pick up the book.

4. Use the tabs to note pages.

5. Use the pen to annotate (YES we want you to mark up this book!). These annotations can include underlined passages, bracketed sections, written notes in the margins, doodles, and any other reactions the reader wants to record within the book.

6. When commenting on or expounding on another’s entry, BE KIND! You can respectfully disagree, but do not say they are wrong. Everyone’s opinion is valid and to be respected.

7. Cursing, offensive, threatening and/or aggressive language is expressly prohibited.

8. Return the book for the next person.

 

The next title that will travel through the book club is On the Hippie Trail by Rick Steves.

Registration will close at 8 participants.
