The Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System (AFPPLS) has joined the virtual book club world, in collaboration with the American Library Association’s Book Club Central. The first selection is “No One Is Coming to Save Us” by Stephanie Powell Watts, which was selected by the program’s honorary chair, actress Sarah Jessica Parker. AFPLS has launched a Facebook group dedicated to resources for checking out the book selection, both digitally and in hard copy at your local library, along with six librarian “book club moderators” who will engage with participants throughout the two-month virtual book club period. Library card holders can reserve a copy of “No One is Coming to Save Us” on the library’s website, www.afpls.org. Ebook readers can download a copy of the book using the system’s Overdrive app.
