ebruary is the heart of winter.  At February’s heart is the day of love.  Proclaimed the month to Love Books by Jessup Library, we are celebrating all kinds of love, from romantic to familial to fraternal.  And we are also celebrating the love of books, not just books about love.

To get started, try The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, a devastatingly poignant book about two teenagers who have cancer and fall in love, and discover the meaning of what it is to be alive.  Or, read Michael Ondaatje’s beautiful classic The English Patient, an exploration of the stories of four people at the end of WWII and the consequences of our actions in life and love.  A book that is about sisterhood, Text Me When You Get Home by Kayleen Schaefer is a glimpse into the world of female friendships and the important bonds that women make throughout their lives.

Love is a many-splendored thing.  Love is multi-faceted and this February we at Jessup Library want you to find love in books.  Our shelves are brimming with words, all you have to do is crack open a book!
