China Travelogue

China Travelogue – Parts I & II
Gere Branch, March 18, 2019
Linda V. – Anderson & Bethany Branch Libraries

Linda V.’s “China Travelogue” on March 18, 2019, was more a slideshow presentation of her trip to China than a traditional booktalk. However, she did bring a few books and DVDs for the Bethany BooksTalk members to peruse.
