WELCOME to SKOOBS - Our Sustainable Development Goals Book Club!

What is a skoob?  It's simply a matter of perspective!  Try books,  BOOKS,  Books, ooksb, skoobs?

Books mean different things to different readers, depending on the prior knowledge, experiences and context of each person.




Come share with us your perspective on various books this year.  We'll follow the books in the Sustainable Development Goals Book Club of the United Nations.  You'll have the opportunity to comments on books here.  Let your voice and your perspective be part of the conversation!

For example, in Serafina's Promise, by Ann E. Burg, one of the characters says, “Education is the road to freedom.”


What do you think this means?  Do you agree with this statement?
