Follow on Google News | "Check Out" Authors and Other Human Books at Your Local LibraryAuthor Bobbi Carducci speaks one-on-one to readers as a human book
By: Open Books Press In Confessions, Carducci explains her seven-year experience dealing with a mentally and physically ill father-in-law. With honesty and grace, she covers the highs, lows, and admitted imperfections of being a caregiver. What Carducci experienced is not uncommon, but many caregivers don’t know that they’re not alone in these experiences. Reader Dennis Fargo said of the experience, “Being present to see facial expression and non-verbals from the book is richer experience than just turning a page.” Those whose Carducci’s experiences resonate with will find her a beacon of information and support. By “checking” Librarian Carolyn Reagle shares feedback from patrons: “People have told us this is the best library program they’ve ever been to. . . . Most people say that this is a touching program, this is very different.” Gum Spring Public Library is part of a growing trend of libraries offering “human books” in addition to traditional library services. This program began in Denmark in 2000 to allow neighbors to get to know one another. Confessions of an Imperfect Caregiver (284 pgs., $15.95 print, $2.99 ebook) is published by Open Books Press (http://openbookspress.com).
