Welcome to a new year of Bookends. School is right around the corner and I hope everyone's excited to be coming back. We are looking forward to having an amazing year filled with great books, discussions and movies.
A few announcements:
- Amina - our previous co-director - has graduated and will not be returning to Bookends this year.
- Our new co-director is Anoo. Some of you might have met Anoo at our meetings last year. She has been a member of our club for a few years now and served on the social committee last year. So please join me in welcoming her to the Bookends exec team. I look forward to working with her!
- We are now looking for a new social committee for the upcoming school year! If you are interested, please email me (Aditi) at bookendsuoft@yahoo.com with a little blurb about yourself and your ideas for social events.
- Nominations for Book of September are now open! The theme for this month is "fresh" - interpret this as you will. It can be anything from a "new beginnings", coming of age story to a fantasy adventure to delight your inner child. Pick something you think others might enjoy :)
- To submit a nomination, send us an email at bookendsuoft@yahoo.com
Our first meeting will be held on Friday, September 13. Since this will be the first meeting of the month, there is no book discussion. Instead, we will have ice breakers to try and get to know one another and discuss our ideas for the book club this year. You will also have a chance to vote on the Book of September at the meeting.

See you there!
