WashU Libraries Virtual Book Club Online
Join us for a special Preservation Week book club with guest host Danielle Creech, Head of Preservation, Processing, and Exhibitions. We will discuss Ink Blood Sister Scribe by Emma Törzs.
The story follows the Kalotay family, which has guarded a collection of ancient and rare books for generations. Books of magic that half-sisters Joanna and Esther have been raised to revere and protect. Each use of a magic book depletes it, so secrecy is the primary tool they use to keep their collection safe, at least until their father dies suddenly while reading a book Joanna has never seen before.
Book club will begin with a presentation on the ethics and dangers of preservation and how we balance care of our valuable collections against the needs of our patrons to access them.
Free and open to all, registration required for Zoom link.
