Young Adult Social Issues Book Club

Description

The James Kennedy Public Library is proud to announce our limited edition Social Issues Book Club for Young Adults. In this 6 month series, participants will read one book each month that highlights a particular social issue. The goal of this series is to help teens and young adults understand major social issues that affect their lives and communities and to help teach them how to hold a civil discussion about these topics. While this program is designed for young and emerging adults, 15 to 25 years of age, teens and adults of all ages are welcome. At this introductory meeting, we will gather feedback from participants about topics of interest and best times to meet. This program will be held via Zoom and participants need to register at bit.ly/YASOCIALISSUES in order to receive a link to the session. Surveys for feedback on the possible topics are also available on the library’s social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), our website, or you can pick up a print copy at the library. This program series was made possible by the Libraries Transforming Communities: Focus on Small and Rural Libraries Grant from the American Library Association.
