Every month we gather on Zoom to discuss books and reading in relation to a theme. The discussion theme of this month's Book Chat will be "Books That Take You Places." Register for our February 17th event now, and bring a book you'd like to talk briefly about, or some open-ended questions related to the theme!

Explore historic and contemporary Black experiences through these recommended titles.
