Social Justice Book Club

Social Justice Book Club Online

Join HCDL Director Holly Ward Lamb on a journey of discovery and self-reflection through monthly book club discussions as we explore issues of social justice, including racism, whiteness, feminism, queer rights, and more.

 

This month we will discuss the book Pet by Akwaeke Emezi.

From the publisher: "Pet is here to hunt a monster. Are you brave enough to look? In their riveting and timely young adult debut, acclaimed novelist Akwaeke Emezi asks difficult questions about what choices you can make when the society around you is in denial." Pet is a Stonewall Book Award Winner, a National Book Award Finalist, and was named a Best Book of the Year by School Library Journal and Publishers Weekly and a Favorite Book of the Year by NPR.

 

Registration is required and space is limited. Registration is open now and ends 24 hours before the event starts. The Zoom meeting link and password will be emailed to registered participants prior to the program. See below for technical requirements.

 

Reserved copies of the month's selected book will be available for registered participants to borrow from digitally and physically through the Library.
