Program Description

Event Details

The Social Justice Book Club explores social justice issues through literature and nonfiction while providing a safe place to discuss important topics, share ideas, and inspire critical thinking about equality and justice.
We meet the first Thursday of every month at 6PM at the Mission Branch Library, we are currently doing hybrid meetings.  

A note on content warnings. The topics covered in the books we read for the Social Justice Book Club will inherently have difficult, possibly triggering descriptions of events. Without being able to warn ahead of time about all of the potential triggers in each book we read, I ask that you please take the time to check-in with yourself and give yourself the permission to disengage if you are feeling overwhelmed.

We meet on the first Wednesday of the month at Mission Branch Library (Community Room) and online (Zoom) at 6:00 pm. The Social Justice Book Club explores social justice issues through literature and nonfiction while providing a safe place to discuss important topics, share ideas, and inspire critical thinking about equality and justice.

Book we're discussing at this meeting: The Fire This Time: A New Generation Speaks about Race by Jesmyn Ward. For this month we were able to get copies of the book for participants. Please pick one up at the front Circulation Desk at the Mission Branch Library or at the Adult Reference Desk (2nd floor) at the Civic Center Library.
