The title selected for June 4 is "Dictionary of Lost Words" by Pip Williams.
Motherless Esme spends her childhood in the Scriptorium, the garden shed in the back of the house where her father works for the Scots-born lexicographer James Murray and his monk-like team, who are collecting words for the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. Some slips of paper carrying words are misplaced or discarded, and it is these “lost” words that Esme is determined to rescue from certain oblivion.
The daytime book discussion group at Beaumont meets two Tuesday mornings a month, except around the holidays. Titles selected for reading include fiction as well as non-fiction, and are usually supplied by the library. The reading schedule is subject to change due to availability of titles. For more information please contact the library at (859) 231-5500 and press 3 to reach the Beaumont Branch.
