[Michlib-l] Books & Brew for Libraries Read: 1 Book

[Pam Seabolt]

MCLS Libraries Read: 1 Book

Join us for books and brews at the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services’ in-person book discussions in August in both Michigan and Indiana. We will discuss this year’s winning title for Libraries Read: 1 Book, When They Call You a Terrorist by Patrisse Khan-Cullors and asha bandele. According to GoodReads<https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34964998-when-they-call-you-a-terrorist>, this book is, "a poetic and powerful memoir about what it means to be a Black woman in America—and the co-founding of a movement that demands justice for all in the land of the free… When They Call You a Terrorist is Patrisse Khan-Cullors and asha bandele’s reflection on humanity. It is an empowering account of survival, strength and resilience and a call to action to change the culture that declares innocent Black life expendable." Those who submitted the title for consideration felt it would be a fantastic point to bring this conversation into the libraries, and to help us better understand the communities that we serve.

Join us for a fun evening!
