Save the Date: Salem Reads free book giveaway will take place Dec 5

Salem Reads, the community-wide reading project that invites everyone in Salem to read the same book, take part in discussions, and enjoy related programs, has selected The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina by Zoraida Córdova for its 2024 read.

The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina is the epic tale of a family impacted by a dramatic matriarch, called together to attend her funeral and to collect their inheritance. Seven years later, the gifts bestowed by Orquídea Divina begin to tear the family apart. Four survivors travel to Ecuador to uncover the truth behind the family mysteries.

The book was chosen after a rigorous selection process and a vote by many readers. In February 2024, there will be a month of activities and events that will encourage the public to engage and explore the book, its themes and more.

The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina is available to read or listen to in preparation for Salem Reads in February 2024. Print, large print, audiobook on CD, and Spanish language copies are available to borrow from the library. In addition, eBooks and eAudiobooks are available to download on the cloudLibrary and Libby apps.

There will be a free book giveaway on Tuesday, December 5, 2023, beginning at 10 a.m. at the downtown library, 585 Liberty St SE, and 12 p.m. at the West Salem branch, 395 Glen Creek Rd NW. Pick up a print copy in Spanish or English. Limit of one book per visitor while supply lasts. The book can also be purchased at Friends Bookstore, Salem Book Bin and Reader’s Guide.

Watch for the 2024 event schedule coming soon. For more information, visit splfoundation.org.
