ONE BAY ONE BOOK

Horn  Dara (c) Michael B. Priest

Jewish LearningWorks' 2nd Annual Conversation With the Author: Meet Dara Horn

a project of the Jewish Community Library

ONE BAY ONE BOOK is a yearlong conversation connecting Bay Area readers through shared discussions and events centering around a single book. This past year we've been reading and talking about Dara Horn's A Guide for the Perplexed, now it's time to bring your questions, thoughts and insights to a conversation with the author herself. Haven't read A Guide yet? We have several copies on the Pushcart. Email Jen to reserve a copy.

Try Your Hand at the Pushcart

If you love books and movies, and chatting with people about them, you're the perfect candidate to volunteer with the Pushcart. You'll also need to be comfortable with computers, but you don't have to be a wiz. We'll provide individual training for each volunteer.

You can fill in for Jen when she's away or sick, or choose a regular day every week or month. We especially need help over Spring Break and during the month of May.

Email Jen to learn more about this volunteer opportunity.
