Staff Recommendations: Stephanie Coakley

You can’t judge a book by its cover, but you can tell a bit about a person by what they’re reading.

We invite you to get to know our staff a little better with monthly featured staff recommendations. Let’s take it from the top.

2. The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race  by Walter Isaacson
   Stephanie Says: I’m so looking forward to giving a talk/presentation this May about this book as part of my membership with the English Literary Club, a women’s literary club that dates back to 1879.
