The power of language is something many of us take for granted. This month’s KELOLAND Living Book Club pick, “How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents”, weaves together the impact of culture and place through the lens of the immigrant experience.
Kim Koblank and Lucy Steiger are two of the librarians behind our KELOLAND Living Book Club.

They joined us to walk us through this tale of four sisters who come to the US from the Dominican Republic – AND to introduce us to our next KELOLAND Living Book Club pick.
