What are they reading?
Librarians share books
they are devouring
BY ALYSSA EVANS
Librarians are one of the best sources, if not the
best, when deciding what to read next. To help you
choose what to add to your reading list, here are
some of the North Coast’s librarians’ current reads.
Astoria Library
Astoria Public Library Director Jimmy Pearson
recommends ‘Drive Your Plow Over the Bones
of the Dead.’
Reading ‘This Tender Land’ has connected
Ilwaco library manager Susan Carney to her
father.
Jenny Grenfell, Ocean Park library
manager,
recently
read
‘The
Riddlemaster of Hed.’
Astoria Library Director Jimmy Pearson and his
staff are currently reading an abundance of books.
The fi rst is “Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of
the Dead” by Olga Tokarczuk, which won the
2018 Nobel Prize in Literature.
Other choices include “The Housekeeper and
the Professor” by Yoko Ogawa, and “Humble Pi:
When Math Goes Wrong in the Real World” by
Matt Parker.
“(Parker’s book) is funny and entertaining, even
if math is not one of your best skills,” Pearson said.
