We asked Terri Caplan a few questions for this “Volunteer Spotlight:”
How long have you been volunteering for the Iowa City Public Library?
Since 2008.
What do you do at the Library?
I work in the BookEnd, and I’m on the BookEnd Committee. I volunteered in Circulation for a while. That was my first volunteer job here.
Why did you decide to volunteer at the Library?
Because I love books, and it’s a great library.
What is your favorite part of the collection?
The Fiction collection. I like historical fiction and Geraldine Brooks.
What else do you like to do?
I like to read. I spend time with my dogs. I have two retired racing greyhounds. I also like to work in my yard and see movies.
Thank you, Terri, for all of your time and hard work!

About the Author
Brian works as the Senior Adult Services Librarian at the Iowa City Public Library.
It's wild to me that--if read in a vacuum--you would have no idea that this was a Star Wars book. There's no connection (outside of a minor sub-plot) to the greater universe, and none of the well-known aliens and ships that are so undeniably of a galaxy far, far away. But there's something just *very* Star Wars about it. It's adventurous, exotic, and makes the galaxy seem limitless. Also, Thrawn is possibly the most interesting Star Wars character there is. I highly recommend it for Star Wars and Sci-Fi fans. -Brian
