Just got an early tip that the next Oprah Book Club selection will be announced on September 17th, 2010*.  This is great news for our member libraries - depending on the size of the library, all middle and high school, public, community college, and prison libraries receive between 2 and 10 copies each - compliments of the publisher.  We don’t have any advanced intelligence on the book title or topic, but her book club selections always create interest at the library.  We will announce it here and give former or new members a chance to re/join to take advantage of this great, free benefit.
