This month's book selection:

All the Beauty in the World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Me by Patrick Bringley (2023) nonfiction.

Heartbroken from the death of his beloved brother, Patrick Bringley seeks refuge as a security guard at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. He enters the museum as a ghost, silent and almost invisible, but soon finds his voice and his tribe: the beautiful artworks and their creators and the lively subculture of museum guards.
