DPNR HOSTS “TALKING BOOKS BOOK CLUB WITH NINA GARCIA”

Commissioner Jean-Pierre L. Oriol of the Department of Planning and Natural Resources (DPNR) is pleased to invite the public to the next session of the Talking Books Book Club with Nina Garcia, scheduled for Wednesday, June 10 at 10:00 a.m. at the Regional Library for the Blind and Physically Challenged, now housed within the Florence Williams Public Library in Christiansted.

This month’s featured title is Mind Games by #1 bestselling author Nora Roberts. The novel follows the life of Thea Fox, a young woman with a rare psychic gift who witnesses a traumatic crime in her childhood. As she grows older, Thea must confront both her abilities and the lingering danger tied to her past, navigating themes of resilience, justice, and self-discovery in this suspenseful and emotionally driven story.

“We’re excited to welcome readers to explore our digital collection through Hoopla,” said DLAM Director Amy DeSorbo. “To make participation easier, we’ve added six new eBook copies and six audiobook versions of this month’s selection. It’s a great opportunity to enjoy a compelling story while connecting with fellow readers in a supportive and engaging environment”.

The Talking Books Book Club meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 10:00 a.m., offering an inclusive space for readers of all abilities to come together and share in the joy of literature.
