The Social Justice Book Club meets to explore books about race, gender, immigration, poverty, and criminal justice issues. It is intended to give readers the opportunity to explore current social issues more deeply at either an afternoon or evening discussion. This book club meets the second Tuesday of every month in the afternoon, and the third Tuesday of every month in the evening to discuss the selected title. The discussions will be facilitated by Ellie Gross and KPL Librarian Kristin Kornkven. 

For more information, contact Kristin Kornkven at 564-6107 or kkornkven@mykpl.info.
