Books from different cultures
Reading books from different cultures, perspectives, and backgrounds enriches our understanding and empathy. Lighthouse Point Library offers a selection of literature that can transport you to far-off places, introduce you to new ways of thinking, and expand your worldview. If you are a fan of fiction, non-fiction or mystery, consider picking up a book from an author whose cultural background differs from your own. Whether it’s a novel by a writer from a different country, a historical account, or a contemporary piece addressing international issues, these books provide valuable insights to comprehend the world.
Next time you come to the Library, ask a librarian for recommendations beyond your usual preferences. You’ll be surprised at the wealth of experiences and perspectives waiting for you.
Did you know that there are two Little Free Libraries in our city? One is located in Dan Witt Park, and the other is in McDonough Park. The process is very simple: you take one book from the box and leave another in its place. If you decide to keep the book, that’s fine too! The important thing is to ensure that you contribute by placing another book in the box. This is a marvelous way for the community to share their books.
