Diversify Your Reading Challenge: Literary Fiction

The "Diversify Your Reading Challenge: Literary Fiction" choice this month is an easy slam dunk. Who better to represent September's category of Literary Fiction than Pat Conroy? 

The Beaufort County Library has a long standing interest in documenting the life and career of author Pat Conroy. 

Almost from the moment Pat Conroy arrived in Beaufort as a teenaged military dependent, he embraced the community as his own. It was a sometime contentious relationship as matters seldom were simple in his life. During the course of his writing career, he became internationally recognized as one of the best and best-selling authors of Southern literature.

Visit the BDCBCL: Links, Lists, and Finding Aids blog to explore all that the Beaufort County Library and its special collections and archives unit, the Beaufort District Collection, offers about this man and his work. 

I put in active links so that you can go straight into the SCLENDS catalog to borrow most of the items, provided, of course, that you have a valid Beaufort County Library card. 

Seeing as how September is always Library Card Sign-up Month, there's no better time to apply!
