Washington Nationals and PGCMLS Launch Josh Bell’s Book Club
After the success of last year’s Summer @ Your Library program, the Washington Nationals selected Prince George’s County Memorial Library System (PGCMLS) as a preferred library partner for one of their new signature community engagement programs, Josh Bell’s Book Club, which launches on May 23 at 7 pm. This baseball season-long, virtual book club’s tagline is “Books. Betterment. Progress.” Readers and baseball fans are invited to participate in the hour-long webinar discussions with Josh Bell that focus on becoming a better you through reading. The books selected for the club are ones Bell wishes he had read sooner, as they have the potential to inspire personal growth.
Josh Bell and featured guests, such as PGCMLS staff, will guide the discussions and viewers will have the opportunity to ask questions. The book selection for May 23 is the “Mental Game of Baseball: A Guide to Peak Performance” by H.A. Dorfman and Karl Kuehl. The book teaches how to master your inner game to take your performance to another level in baseball and in life. Copies of the book are available for borrowing through PGCMLS at pgcmls.info or on the PGCMLS mobile app. DMV residents from outside of Prince George’s County may register for a free virtual card at pgcmls.info to borrow the book through PGCMLS.
“The Library is thrilled to be selected along with the Fairfax County Public Library System to showcase this first ever Washington Nationals — Josh Bell’s Book Club,” said CEO Roberta Phillips. “PGCMLS’ growing partnership with the Nationals is a testament to the team’s strong contributions to helping our local community thrive by helping us foster a love of reading.”
Registration details for Josh Bell’s Book Club will be announced in early May at nationals.com/bookclub. Stay tuned for an announcement about the 2021 Summer @ Your Library program.
